Lucerne 1973 archive footage

Archival footage shot by an amateur filmmaker while visiting Switzerland, probably in 1973.

It contains stock footage of the city of Lucerne: people walking in the Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), a flower market, buildings standing on the waterfront, men playing on a giant chessboard, people buying food (vegetables, spices, and more) in an outdoor market, Fritschibrunnen (Fritschi Fountain) in Kapellplatz, panoramas of the lake including the Church of St. Leodegar (Hofkirche St. Leodegar), the laid-up paddle steamer Wilhelm Tell (1908), which was retired from service on Lake Lucerne in 1970 and became a floating restaurant in 1972, and more.
