The Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft (NHG) / "New Helvetic Society") was a non-party political movement in Switzerland, founded in 1914 and subsumed into a successor organisation in 2007. Its originating objectives were to overcome the country’s national differences, preserve national independence and to resist materialism. In the 1930s, it became more focused on “national renewal”. In 1912 the three (by origin francophone) writers Robert de Traz, Alexis François and Gonzague de Reynold produced a manifesto entitled "Pro helvetica dignitate ac securitate" ("For Swiss dignity and Security”) in which they called for the creation of such a society. It was founded in the capital, Bern, in 1914. Groups sprang up quickly in other Swiss cities, including Lausanne, Neuchâtel and Zürich. There were also foreign societies set up by expatriate Swiss communities in Berlin, Paris and London. The name “Neue Helvetische Gesellschaft” was a conscious reference to the "Helvetische Gesellschaft (“Helvetic Society”) which had played an important role promoting reform in Switzerland during the eighteenth century.
