Documentation: The Matterhorn (Italian Monte Cervino or Cervino, French Mont Cervin or Le Cervin, Valais German Hore or Horu) is 4478 m above sea level. M. one of the highest mountains in the Alps. The Matterhorn is one of the most famous mountains in the world because of its striking shape and history of climbing. For Switzerland it is a landmark and one of the most photographed tourist attractions. The mountain stands in the Valais Alps between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia. The east, north and west walls are on Swiss territory, the south wall on Italian territory. The Matterhorn Museum in Zermatt provides interesting facts about the Matterhorn. In general, in the mountains, the mountain peaks got their names late, but the passes and alps below mostly came earlier. In 1545 Johannes Schalbetter called today's Theodul Pass "Mons Siluius" (German translated as Salasserberg) or German Augsttalberg. Augsttal means the valley of Aosta (Roman Augusta Praetoria Salassorum), the Aosta Valley. "Siluius" was then very likely misinterpreted in terms of folk etymology via supposedly Latin "silvius" and "silvanus" to French and Italian "Cervin/Cervin(i)". In 1581 the Matterhorn was first mentioned as Mont Cervin, like later Mons Silvanus and Mons Silvius. In 1682, Anton Lambien named today's Matterhorn Matter Dioldin h[orn] (Matterhornspitze) to distinguish it from the pass of the same name, which was used until the mid-19th century. Century (e.g. on the Dufour map) was still called «Matterjoch». In the local population, the mountain is also called ds Hore (= the Horn, Zermatt dialect) or ds Horu (= the Horn, Upper Valais dialect). The Matterhorn is a Karling and its distinctive shape was created by erosion and glacial wear during the Ice Ages. The Matterhorn is part of the Dent Blanche Nappe of the Lower East Alps, i.e. a piece of debris from an East Alpine cap rock pushed far to the west onto the Pennine Nappes of the Western Alps. The lower rock layer of the Matterhorn, which reaches up to the Hörnlihütte, is Pennine, i.e. western Alpine. The Horn itself, which is small in comparison, sits on this base and belongs to the Dent Blanche Nappe, namely the lower part up to the "shoulder" to the Arolla series of orthogneiss and metagabbros and the upper part to the Valpelline series of highly metamorphic paragneiss the Dent Blanche ceiling. [1] Put simply, the Matterhorn is made up of two different layers of rock lying diagonally on top of each other. Today's Matterhorn glacier only formed again in the pessimum of the migration period after the optimum of the Roman period. The characteristic "Matterhorn cloud" that forms on the leeward side of the summit. A special feature is the characteristic «Matterhorn cloud». It is an outstanding example of a type of cloud that meteorologists refer to as a banner cloud: Like a mighty flag, the cloud forms on the leeward side of the summit and is an almost constant companion of the mountain. The most plausible explanation for their formation is the following: The Matterhorn towers over the surrounding mountains like a tower, so that lee eddies form on it, which carry moist air from the valley upwards, where condensation and cloud formation occur. Once the summit level is reached, the cloud is caught by a horizontal branch of the Lee Vortex, which leads to the typical plume shape (Lee Vortex hypothesis). Since 1857, several unsuccessful attempts have been made to climb the Matterhorn, mostly from the Italian side. The Englishman Edward Whymper once fell about 60 meters. In 1862, John Tyndall and the guides Johann Josef Benet, Anton Walter, Jean-Jacques and Jean-Antoine Carrel climbed the southwest shoulder, today's Pic Tyndall, for the first time. Continuing the ascent along the Liongrat seemed impossible to them. Whymper continued to consider the Liongrat to be unfeasible. He therefore tried to persuade his friend Jean-Antoine Carrel to climb from the Zermatt side. This insisted on ascending from Italy. In July 1865 Whymper accidentally learned from an innkeeper in Breuil-Cervinia that Carrel - without notifying Whymper - had set out again for the Liongrat. Feeling deceived, Whymper rushed to Zermatt to assemble a group for an immediate attempt across the Hörnligrat. At the 14th. In July 1865, the Whympers team of 7 made the first ascent. The group climbed over the Hörnligrat onto the shoulder, and further up, in the area of today's fixed ropes, they dodged onto the north face. Edward Whymper was the first to reach the summit because he cut his rope before the summit and ran ahead. He was followed by mountain guide Michel Croz (from Chamonix), Reverend Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, D. Robert Hadow (all from England) and Zermatt mountain guide Peter Taugwalder Father and Peter Taugwalder son. Carrel and his party spotted them far below at Pic Tyndall. During the descent of the first climbers, the front four of the rope team (Croz, Hadow, Hudson and Douglas) fell fatally above the so-called "shoulder" over the north face. On Saturday the 15th July 1865, on Sunday the 16th July 1865, and in the days that followed, Josef Marie Lochmatter set out with the rescue teams to provide first aid to those injured on the first ascent. A salvage team was able to recover three of the dead on April 19. July on the Matterhorn glacier mountains. Lord Francis Douglas' body was never found. On the 17th On July 1, Carrel, together with Jean-Baptiste Bich and Amé Gorret, also managed to climb over the Liongrat to the summit by traversing from the northern end of the Italian shoulder through the uppermost west face to the Zmuttgrat (so-called. Galleria Carrel) and completed the climb over it. The anniversaries of the first ascent of the Matterhorn are celebrated in the present. For example, Swiss television showed the 100th anniversary on the 14th July 1965 an international live broadcast of a Matterhorn ascent with the participation of BBC and RAI mountain reporters. on the 30th On June 1, 1965, Swiss television showed the documentary film Bitterer Sieg: The Matterhorn Story (directed by Gaudenz Meili). On the occasion of the 150th Anniversary was on the 14th A countdown clock was set up on the station square in Zermatt in July 2015, and in December 2014 a meeting point for the anniversary year was set up in the center of town, the so-called "Matterhorn Plaza".
