What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 7) / Fluntern?
Fluntern ran its own affairs until 1893. That year the quarter was incorporated into Zürich, a city whose recorded past reaches back through Turicum and the earlier site listed as Oppidum Zürich-Lindenhof. The older municipal identity survives in the name.
Later monuments across Zürich mark that longer story rather than the quarter's own, among them the Schlachtendenkmal, the Georg Büchner memorial and the Bullinger memorial, so what Fluntern contributes to the record is administrative and dated to the merger of 1893.
