history

Ze dien Huitten was first mentioned in detail in 1270. The actual founding date of the Political Community of Hütten is December 15, 1799; the first community meeting took place on that day.

On May 21, 2017, as in Schönenberg , a referendum resolved to merge the municipalities with the city of Wädenswil on January 1, 2018. Due to ongoing objections to the merger, the implementation took place one year later.

The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) kept huts under the FSO number 0134 until they were incorporated into the city of Wädenswil .
