About Zürich (Kreis 11)

Churches carry Kreis 11. St. Katharina Zürich, Maria Lourdes Zürich, Kirche Glaubten and the Reformierte Kirche Unteraffoltern are its listed religious buildings, a set that traces the separate settlements the numbered district was assembled from. The Fliegerstein is a marker, not a building.

What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 11)?
Kreis 11 carries no founding year in the record. What stands in its place is a set of names, Unteraffoltern in the title of its reformed church and Glaubten on another, each attached to a parish rather than to the numbered district that later contained them. The number is administrative.
Zürich files these churches, the Fliegerstein and the Seeufersiedlung under one heading, and the heading is where the district's documented identity begins.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 11)?
