Making of the Bundesrat Photo 2019

This year's official Federal Council photo 2019 was made by the Federal Office of Computer Science and Telecommunication (BIT) apprentices.

The idea, the background image and the photo all came from them. The only requirement Federal President Ueli Maurer had given them was that the photo should be taken with a smartphone.

The official photo shows the cabinet ministers and the chief of staff around the 2019 Swiss President at the centre taking a picture of a crowd of people.

The council is posing in front of typically Swiss trademark symbols silhouettes, including the Matterhorn mountain, a pair of skis, a Swiss army knife and the cheese fondue pot.
