Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 4) / Werd
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Kreis 4 is the practical choice here. Werd puts a traveller inside Aussersihl alongside Langstrasse and Hard, and the walk from a room here takes in Haus Konstruktiv, the Wasserturm Schanzengraben and the Sportanlage Sihlhölzli within a compact stretch of streets. Distances are short.
Anyone whose plans run to the museums will have Haus Konstruktiv and the Musée du FC Zurich on the same side of the city, and the rest of Zürich opens out from there.
About Zürich (Kreis 4) / Werd
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 4) / Werd?
Werd carries a mixed list. Haus Konstruktiv holds the art, the Wasserturm Schanzengraben stands as a water tower on the Schanzengraben, and Kloster Selnau adds a religious foundation to the quarter's list. Sport gets its own address.
The Sportanlage Sihlhölzli is the ground given over to it, and the Musée du FC Zurich keeps the club's record close by, which makes Werd an unusual pairing of gallery, cloister and pitch.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 4) / Werd?
Aussersihl gathers three quarters. Werd shares district 4 with Langstrasse and Hard, and the grouping is the frame through which Zürich has recorded these streets, rather than any charter belonging to Werd alone. Dates are absent.
What the record holds for Werd is a set of standing things, from Kloster Selnau to the Wasserturm Schanzengraben and the Sportanlage Sihlhölzli, rather than a sequence of events, so the quarter's past reads through its buildings.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 4) / Werd?
Werd takes up part of Aussersihl, the Kreis 4 of Zürich, sharing that district with Langstrasse and Hard and holding the Wasserturm Schanzengraben.
