Zunft zum Kämbel

The location at Münsterhof square is seen as a deliberate distancing from the noble houses of the more prominent Zürich guilds.

In later years, the wine haulers (Wynzügel) and salt traders (Houw) also became members of the guild.

As representatives of the city council, the guild's deans had to regulate the sale of goods produced by Kämbel members, and they oversaw the food stands under the arcades on Limmatquai, at Weinplatz, and at Gmüesbrugg, the "Vegetable Bridge".

[4] The most important dean of Kämbel was Hans Waldmann (1435–1489), mayor of Zürich from 1482 to 1489, who was executed after upheavals known as the Waldmannhandel.

The equestrian monument in front of the Fraumünster church at Münsterhof was created by Hermann Haller and unveiled on 6 April 1937 by the Kämbel guild in an effort to rehabilitate Hans Waldmann who, they proposed, had been the victim of a judicial murder.
