Der Bund was founded in Bern in 1850, two years after the Swiss Federal Constitution went into effect, and saw itself as the constitution's mouthpiece. Its publisher is Espace Media AG, which since 2007 has belonged to the Tamedia group (now TX Group). In 2021, Der Bund and the Berner Zeitung, which also belongs to the TX Group, merged their editorial teams.
