Nüsperli: the indefatigable factory inspector

Stefan Keller

5. March 2026

Edmund Nüsperli, the mechanic, revolutionary and industrialist from La Neuveville (canton of Bern) travelled all over Switzerland from 1878 having been mandated by the Federal Council to implement their (at the time) brand new Factory Act. Nüsperli campaigned against child labour, poor working conditions and lethal doses of a toxic substance.

Kinderarbeit war zu Beginn der Industrialisierung Gang und Gäbe. Unter ihren Gegnern und Bekämpfern war Edmund Nüsperli, einer der drei ersten eidgenössischen Fabrikinspektoren. Illustration von Marco Heer.
