History Of Zürich
Zürich has been continuously inhabited since Roman times. The vicus of ''Turicum'' was established in AD 90, at the site of an existing Gaulish ( Helvetic) settlement. Gallo-Roman culture appears to have persisted beyond the collapse of the Western empire in the 5th century, and it is not until the Carolingian period. A royal castle was built at the site of the Lindenhof, and monasteries are established at Grossmünster and Fraumünster. Political power lay with these abbeys during Medieval times, until the guild revolt in the 14th century which led to the joining of the Swiss Confederacy. Zürich was the focus of the Swiss Reformation led by Huldrych Zwingli, and it came to riches with silk industry in Early Modern times. Early history Numerous lake-side settlements from the Neolithic and Bronze Age have been found, such as those in the Zürich Pressehaus and Zürich Mozartstrasse. The settlements were found in the 1800s, submerged in Lake Zürich. Located on the then swa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oetenbach Nunnery
Oetenbach was a Dominican nunnery in the medieval municipality of Zürich in Switzerland.

On the so-called Murerplan map of 1576, the central ''Lindenhof–Sihlbühl'' hill area is illustrated, surrounded by the Limmat river – at the top, in fact in the east and not in the north – ...
