The Guild of Tailors is one of the thirteen societies and guilds of the Burgergemeinde Bern and was founded in the 1370s. Unlike guilds in other cities, which are all associations, the Bernese guilds are corporations under public law. The Guild of Tailors is also an autonomous civic corporation with the character of a municipality. It is made up of all persons who have the guild right to tailors. Together with the butchers and the Pfistern, the guild was responsible for providing basic human needs. Today, the guild's activities include providing social assistance to its members who currently live in the canton of Bern, promoting cohesion among the guild members and managing their assets.
