    Tell's Chapel, Hohlen Gasse, Küssnacht am Rigi
    According to the «White Book of Sarnen», Tell shot the Habsburg bailiff Gessler with an arrow in Hohle Gasse. According to Ägidius Tschudi (around 1530), a chapel was built to commemorate it, which was completely rebuilt in 1638. The Tells chapel (patrocinium: St. Margareta, later 14 Nothelfer) received an altarpiece by Caspar Wolf in 1760. In 1905, Hans Bachmann painted Gessler's death on the facade and Tell's death in the Schächenbach in the interior.
    The construction and inauguration of Hohle Gasse from 1935 to 1937
