About Zürich (Kreis 10) / Wipkingen
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 10) / Wipkingen?
Wipkingen carries an unusually long list. Contemporary art fills much of it, from the Kunsthalle Zürich and the Migros Museum of Contemporary Art to Daros-Latinamerica, while the Museum of Design and the Theatermuseum Stok take narrower subjects. The Swiss Film Archive and the Zivilschutz-Museum sit at opposite ends of the same record.
Churches mark the streets: the Pauluskirche, Guthirt Zürich and Johanneskirche. The TBZ Turm and the Flussfunde close it out, one a tower, the other a set of river finds.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 10) / Wipkingen?
Flussfunde is the oldest entry on the list. Those river finds place activity by the water well ahead of any district numbering, and the churches, Pauluskirche, Guthirt Zürich and Johanneskirche, belong to a much later phase. Art arrived last.
The Kunsthalle Zürich, the Migros Museum of Contemporary Art and Daros-Latinamerica gave the quarter a second identity, and the TBZ Turm stands over that newer build.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 10) / Wipkingen?
Wipkingen forms part of district 10 in Zürich, spread around the TBZ Turm, the Pauluskirche and the halls at Puls 5 and Maag Halle.
