Bider's big goal was crossing the Alps from Bern to Milano which had been attempted three years earlier by fellow aviation pioneer Jorge Chávez. He prepared for this ambitious flight carefully and left nothing to chance. His first attempt did not happen as planned because a prior test flight showed that his airplane, with a 70-hp engine and full fuel tanks could not reach the required altitude in the thin mountain air. He decided to stop halfway in Domodossola to refuel and finish the flight. On July 13, 1913—one day after his 22nd birthday—he took off at 4 a.m. in Bern for Italy. The Jungfraujoch (Young maiden ridge) was the greatest obstacle for this flight and for over half an hour Bider struggled desperately before he finally reached the required altitude of 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) resulting in a new Swiss record. At 6:10 a.m. he passed the top of Jungfraujoch with about 100 metres (330 ft) of clearance. He stopped in Domodossola for fuel as planned and then finished his journey in Milano. He waited 13 days in Milano for good weather conditions and then flew back this time crossing Lukmanier Pass and Chrüzli Pass in northern Switzerland. He landed in Liestal to refuel and continued on to Basel and then to Bern. Bider thus became the first aviator to cross the Alps in both directions. --------------- Biders grosses Ziel . war, was drei Jahre vorher für den Flieger Geo Chavez von Brig aus tödlich geendet hatte: die Überfliegung der Alpen von Bern nach Mailand. Seinen ersten Plan einer direkten Alpenüberquerung gab er auf, da ihm ein Probeflug zeigte, dass sein Flugzeug mit dem 70-PS-Motor in der dünnen Bergluft nur mit dem Gewicht des halbvollen Tanks die nötige Flughöhe erreichte. Daher sah er in Domodossola eine Zwischenlandung zur Treibstoffaufnahme vor. Am Tag nach seinem 22. Geburtstag, am 13. Juli 1913, um vier Uhr früh, startete Bider in Bern Richtung Italien. Das Jungfraujoch bildete am Anfang das grösste Hindernis und über eine halbe Stunde lang rang der Flieger um die letzten hundert Meter, bis er die erforderliche Höhe von 3.600 Metern erreichte. Um 6.10 Uhr überflog er mit etwa hundert Meter Höhenabstand das Jungfraujoch und gelangte darauf ohne Schwierigkeiten nach Domodossola und danach nach Mailand. 13 Tage wartete er in Mailand auf gutes Wetter und flog dann sein Flugzeug über den Lukmanierpass und den Chrüzlipass zurück in die Nordschweiz, wo er in Liestal landete, um nachzutanken und seinen Weg über Basel nach Bern zu vollenden. Er hat damit als erster Mensch mit einem Flugzeug die Alpen vollständig und in beiden Richtungen überquert.

Das Weltpostdenkmal steht auf der Kleinen Schanze in Bern und erinnert daran, dass Bern Gründungsstadt und Sitz des seit 1874 bestehenden Weltpostvereins ist. Die Bronzeplastik namens Autour du monde («Rund um die Welt») stammt von dem Franzosen René de Saint-Marceaux (1845–1915), der damit 1903 ein internationales Preisausschreiben gewann. Die Einweihung des rund 200 000 Schweizer Franken teuren Denkmals fand neun Jahre später, am 4. Oktober 1909 statt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The World Post monument stands on the small hill in Bern and reminds that Bern is the founding city and seat of the since 1874 existing Universal Postal Union. The bronze sculpture called "Autour du monde" ("Around the World") was made by the Frenchman René de Saint-Marceaux (1845-1915), who won an international competition in 1903. The inauguration of the approximately 200 000 Swiss franc expensive monument took place nine years later, on October 4, 1909.

Here you can see how tall are Wim and Roland, and Poly too, or how short I am :-) Hier kann man sehen wie gross Wim und Roland, und auch Poly sind, oder wie niedrig ich bin :-) Qui si vede quanto sono alti Wim e Roland , e anche Poly, o come sono bassa io :-)

After 10 or more years we at last met in Bern. Nach 10 Jahren or mehr haben wir uns endlich in Bern getroffen. Dopo 10 e più anni finalmente ci siamo incontrati a Berna.

The House of Religions is a Swiss inter-religious institution in the city of Bern in Switzerland that houses worship rooms for eight faiths in one single building. In the 2000s started the plans to establish a cultural institution of Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu faith traditions, and on 25 April 2002 the association "Haus der Religionen – Dialog der Kulturen" (meaning House of religions, dialogue of cultures) was established. In March 2006 the "Stiftung Europaplatz" foundation was founded, which raised the necessary funds for the project, including sacred spaces, among others for Hindu and Buddhist communities, of the Alevis and the Council of Christian Churches in the canton of Bern (AKB). In the beginning, the Jewish community of Bern and the Bahá'í Faith community did not wish to set up own rooms, but ideally supported the project. The cantonal Islamic Umma association has withdrawn from the project after initial concessions, but the Muslim association Hochfeldstrasse, however, was interested to participate.
