Ustertag

The Ustertag occurred on 22 November 1830, when 10,000 men of the Canton of Zürich gathered on Zimiker hill and demanded a new constitution.

The Ustertag is described as a "revolution" due to its impact, its focus, and its speed of events, which caused great change in the Canton of Zurich.

A short time later, about a hundred men gathered in Stäfa, near Zurich, and decided to hold a meeting in Uster, the most central location in the canton of Zürich with the large St. Andreas Church.

However, when 10,000–12,000 men attended, the church could not hold the crowd and the Tagung or assembly adjourned to the nearby Zimiker Hill.

[1] Once on 6 December, a new Cantonal Council German: Grossräte was elected with two-thirds of the representatives coming from the rural areas.

The derived verb aufputschen remains common in Standard German for "to incite", "to excite", in political or in doping contexts.
