About Zürich (Kreis 3)
Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 3)
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Wiedikon is the older name. A bed in Kreis 3 puts the Zwinglikirche, Don Bosco Zürich and the Sportanlage Sihlhölzli close, and the district's list also reaches Museum Rietberg, Haus Konstruktiv and the FIFA Museum. Kloster Selnau sits on it too.
Weighing Kreis 3 against the middle of Zürich comes down to that list, where the Kriminalmuseum der Kantonspolizei Zürich and the Musée du FC Zurich sit alongside the Wasserturm Schanzengraben.
About Zürich (Kreis 3)
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 3)?
Memorials outnumber the churches here. The Oswald-Heer-Denkmal, the Conrad-Gessner-Denkmal and the Hegetschweiler-Gedenkstein all stand on the Kreis 3 list, alongside the Zwinglikirche, Dreikönigen, Don Bosco Zürich and Kloster Selnau. Sport takes two entries.
The Sportanlage Sihlhölzli and the Sportanlage Allmend Brunau cover that side, while the Kriminalmuseum der Kantonspolizei Zürich, the Musée du FC Zurich, Haus Konstruktiv and Museum Rietberg carry the collections. An early-medieval grave field at Bäckerstrasse is on the register too.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 3)?
The oldest thing recorded here is a grave field. An early-medieval burial ground at Bäckerstrasse appears on the Kreis 3 list, and Kloster Selnau and Dreikönigen carry the older institutional names, though the district itself has no founding year set against it. Wiedikon is the name it files under.
The Oswald-Heer-Denkmal, the Conrad-Gessner-Denkmal and the Hegetschweiler-Gedenkstein commemorate individuals rather than events, and the Zwinglikirche sits among the churches named beside them.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 3)?
