Höri (like the field and place name Horw from Middle High German hor and Old High German horowa " swamp , moorland ") is a political municipality in the district of Bülach in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland .

The Unterländer municipality consists of the three villages Oberhöri, Niederhöri and Endhöri (ennet der Glatt).

coat of arms

Blazon

Two crossed silver fish forks in blue, accompanied by four diamond-shaped golden cakes

The coat of arms is associated with the sale of the "Küchelers Höri" farm in 1320, which was transferred from the St. Martin monastery on the Zürichberg or from the Habsburgs to Baroness Anna von Tengen.

geography

Following the course of the Glatt , coming from Oberglatt and Niederglatt , you first reach Oberhöri, which, in addition to the old town center on the Glatt, has extended along the slopes of the Höriberg . Here you will mainly find single-family houses.

If you follow the Glatt, you come to the village of Niederhöri, which has retained its original size. Here the road branches off to Hochfelden .

Ennet der Glatt is the third village, called Ennet - or today for short Endhöri. It has grown the most and, in addition to large commercial enterprises, also has a large number of apartment buildings. Various old farmhouses were sacrificed to widen the street and the new multi-purpose building. Of the community area of 478.63 hectares , 54.5 hectares are forest.

economy

traffic

Because the Hörem farmers did not want to pay a contribution to the Nordostbahn- Gesellschaft for a train station in the 19th century , today not only the international trains Zurich – Stuttgart and Stuttgart – Naples roar through the village of Endhöri without stopping, but also the half-hourly S-Bahn to Bülach , Oerlikon and Zurich. Only when the Bülach - Oerlikon double track opened in 1980, Höri had a provisional stop for a weekend. This is where the special steam trains for the inauguration festivities stopped. However, there are Postbus lines at least every half hour from Bülach train station. (ZVV No. 525)

Art, culture and sights

Museums

A joint commission made up of members of Pro Höri and the primary school runs a small local history museum in the basement of the Weiher 1 schoolhouse. One room is dedicated to the farm (house and yard), one to the school, the viticulture and Swissair , the third to village development and the Spatial planning.

school

Primary school

Primary education was introduced in 1639. The first school house was built in 1827 for 3,368 guilders. It was built on the Glatt near Niederhöri, but on the eastern bank, it was enlarged in 1837 by a teacher's apartment with a community room, which cost 2750 guilders. In 1871 a ridge turret with four eyelashes and a pointed helmet was erected on the roof. The clock was obtained from the Strasbourg company Ungerer Frères, while a bell was commissioned from the Keller bell foundry in Zurich- Unterstrass .

In 1921 a new school building "Niederhöri" was built right next to it, the old school building was given to the political community in 1939, but has been used again for school purposes since 2001. There are also two modern school buildings from the 1960s and 1970s and two gyms.

District secondary school

The secondary school is organized in a district with Bachenbülach , Bülach , Hochfelden and Winkel . Classes take place in the secondary school building in the city of Bülach and the outstation in the primary school Weiher 1 in Höri.

Others

The approach path of the international airport Zurich-Kloten leads exactly over Niederhöri and the school buildings. In addition to aircraft noise, the airport offers many jobs for residents of the community.

A sensation was caused by the fact that in the SVP , Höri was dominated by an urban couple from the left, namely the Green National Councilor Balthasar Glättli and the Zurich SP politician Min Li Marti, who gave the speech on August 1st. Whereby some of her words got lost in the aircraft noise, as reported by the NZZ .
