Zurich, Switzerland City Info
Although there’s evidence of settlement around Zürich from the Bronze Age and before, the Romans were the first to fortify the site, turning the Lindenhof into a customs post in the first century BC and naming it Turicum. The legend of the city’s foundation dates from the martyrdom of Felix and Regula, deserters from a Roman legion based in Valais. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries, Zürich’s traders built up fabulous wealth, mainly from textiles such as wool and silk. In 1336, however, a visionary burgomaster, Rudolf Brun, shuffled the merchant nobility out of power, handing control instead to workers’ guilds (which were to keep a hold on the city until the nineteenth century). Shortly after, still under Brun’s direction, Zürich joined the nascent Swiss Confederation.
With the recent revelations about Switzerland’s economic and material complicity with the Nazis, Zürich’s exact role during and after World War II hasn’t yet been pinpointed, but the city emerged post-war to flourish, becoming one of the world’s leading financial centres; by the 1960s its foreign exchange speculators had become so powerful and secretive that they were dubbed “the gnomes of Zürich” by British Labour Ministers during the 1964 sterling crisis. Today, Zürich is the single most important market for gold and precious metals, and boasts the world’s fourth-largest stock market after New York, London and Tokyo. This exceptional affluence tends to define the city these days and yet, despite its wealth, Zürich is not a flashy place at all. The ghost of Zwingli still stands at the shoulder of the super-discreet bankers, industrialists and business people who live and breathe the city’s ingrained Protestant work ethic, but it’s in fact the individualism that Zwingli encouraged which continually bubbles to the surface.
