Horgen from 800 m, in 1919, Walter Mittelholzer

Horgen is located in the southwest of the canton of Zurich and, at 30.83 km², is the second largest municipality in the district. The landscape is determined by the Zimmerberg , a lateral moraine that the Linth glacier formed during its advance after the last ice age and the Albis mountain range. The municipal area extends from the left bank of the lake (jokingly called the “ Pfnüsel coast ”) across the Sihl valley to the Albis ridge and south to the Sihlsprung .

A large part of Horgen is covered by forest and comprises 39.6% of the municipality. Another 38.4% are used for agriculture, 12.5% ​​for settlements, 6.3% for transport, 1.5% are unproductive areas and 1.7% are water bodies. (As of 2018)

Waters

The determining watercourse in the municipality of Horgen is the Sihl , which rises at Drusberg in the canton of Schwyz, flows into the Limmat in Zurich and crosses the municipality over a length of around 11 km. The Dorfbach and streams such as the Tannenbach, Aabach, Meilibach flow to Lake Zurich ; some smaller ones are partly overturned.

history

The prehistory and early history of Horgen has not yet been intensively investigated. Fossilized ferns and mastodons have been preserved in the Käpfnach coal seam .

The earliest settlements in the municipality are the lakeside settlements of the pile dwellers . The oldest Neolithic settlement remains were found at today's ship pier and assigned to the Pfyn culture . They originated from 3900 to 3500 BC. The people of the Horgen culture, named after their place of discovery (between around 3500 and 2800 BC), settled in the "Scheller" near the border with Oberrieden. During the excavations from 1987 to 1990, the emergence of the seven separate cultural layers in the "Scheller" in the years 3100 to 3000 BC was dendrochronologically identified . Dated. The Horgen settlements were linked to contemporary settlements on other Swiss lakes.

The two Celtic women's graves in Thalacker date from the 2nd century. Alamannic graves at the chapel on Stockerstrasse, in the "Entweder" and the "Bätbur" have been documented for the time of the Great Migration in the 7th century .

In the document through which King Otto I donated extensive land in the Horgen area to the Fraumünster monastery in Zurich on March 1, 952 , Horgen was mentioned as Horga for the first time. The name goes back to an Old High German field name that was roughly * ze horwun (' near the swampy landscape').

Since the late Middle Ages, Horgen experienced an upswing as a trading center. Around 1437, Horgen became an upper bailiff when the Zurich government united it with the bailiwick of Thalwil and, after the Reformation, with the Rufers court in Adliswil. The area of ​​the Upper Bailiwick extended from Wollishofen to the border with Wädenswil. In the old Zurich War , during the Zurich Reformation by Huldrych Zwingli and the Counter Reformation , the area of ​​the municipality of Horgen was an outpost against Catholic Central Switzerland .

There were religious disputes from 1585 between the rulers in the city and the Anabaptist community in Horgenberg. In the course of these events, Hans Landis was beheaded on September 30, 1614 in Zurich. In 1637 Hans Meyli was also taken prisoner, but he was able to escape.

The Napoleonic turmoil, the Helvetic Republic 1798–1803 and the disputes over the mediation constitution in 1803 culminated in 1804 in the buck war . In Helvetic and mediation, Horgen remained the district capital. The regeneration constitution of 1831 laid the foundation for today's Horgen district.

The construction of the links bank Zurichseebahn between Zurich and Näfels was accompanied by some difficulties. The route led over large riparian zones heaped up in the lake. On February 9, 1875, a 135 m long section of the route under construction slid into the lake. The route was slightly relocated, but on September 20, two days after the opening of the railway line, another 204 m long section in the water, more than 6500 m², sank. The station sank by half a meter and had to be demolished. As a result, a new route was laid further inland.

At the end of 2016, a vote on the merger of Hirzel with Horgen was accepted with 59 percent yes votes. The merger was completed on January 1, 2018.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the municipality of Horgen from 1952

Blazon

In red, a silver, standing swan with gold reinforcement

The oldest depiction of the coat of arms can be found in Gerold Edlibach's chronicle from 1486, a silver swan on a red background. The swan looked to the right then.

The modern community coats of arms go back to the work of the community coat of arms commission of the Antiquarian Society of Zurich, which determined the coats of arms of the then 179 Zurich communities between 1926 and 1936 and published them in the form of postcards. In the sixties the AGZ made the decision to reissue the coats of arms in book form. However, publication was delayed by the death of the draftsman Walter Käch in 1970. Käch was replaced by the heraldist Fritz Brunner, and the register of the municipality's coat of arms was finally published in 1977.

(Peter Ziegler, Die Gemeindewappen des Kantons Zürich . Published by the Antiquarian Society of Zurich. Coat of arms drawings by Walter Käch and Fritz Brunner. Zürich, Verlagberichthaus, 1977) Since the 1000th anniversary in 1952, the municipality has been using a graphically simple, modern drawing of the swan , designed by the local graphic artist Josef Wieser. However, the new version of the coat of arms was not included in the book of municipal coats of arms of the canton of Zurich , although this was only published 25 years later.

(Paul Kläui, Geschichte der Gemeinde Horgen . On behalf of the Chronicle Commission Horgen for the 1000th anniversary. Horgen 1952. New coat of arms on pages 681 - 682).

Until the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, Horgen was dominated by agriculture, with viticulture and dairy farming predominant. Viticulture was completely abandoned in the first quarter of the 20th century as a result of the pests ( phylloxera ) that appeared from 1850 and the unfavorable situation. Today there are still 30 farms, including 25 full-time farms. In 2005 around 100 employees worked 500 hectares of land. The largest areas are to the west of the A3 motorway and in the southern municipal area of ​​Rietwies.

Mining

B. weaving Stünzi sons ), later the machinery industry (eg. B. Wanner, coarse , Stäubli , Schweiter , Oetiker ). Many of these large companies are or have been active internationally since their inception and export a large part of their production. The close ties between the Horgen district's silk industry and North America resulted in a US consulate in Horgen from 1878 to 1895 .

In 1943, the year of the war, the four textile machine factories Grob, Schweiter, Stäubli and Vollenweider merged to form the «Die 4 von Horgen» interest group in order to overcome the difficulties of the time. They began to work on the world markets (export quota around 90%) together as a sales and advertising association in order to be able to maintain their independence.

service

In the course of the 20th century, the economic focus shifted more and more towards service companies. Banks, asset and property management companies, insurance companies, research institutes, processing and training centers of banks and credit card companies are important employers. In addition, the district authorities and the district court with its attached penal institution are located in Horgen.
