Männedorf ( Mänidorf in local Zurich German ) is a municipality in Switzerland . It is located on the right bank of Lake Zurich and belongs to the Meilen district in the canton of Zurich .
geography
The area is 478 ha, of which 34% is agriculture, 34% settlements, 25% forest, 6% water. The community extends on the southern slope of the Pfannenstiel from the right bank of Lake Zurich to the Stäfner Türli. The lakeshore is 406 meters above sea level, the tunnel at 661 meters. The community lies on terraces that run parallel to the back of the pan style. The originally small agricultural village on the lakeshore has changed a lot since the railway was built and expanded up the mountain. Thanks to the planning of a motorway, for which the road authority bought land, the upper part of Männedorf is now a local recreation area. Männedorf is part of the urban agglomeration of the city of Zurich and towards Zurich has grown together to some extent.
history
Like the other lakeside communities, Männedorf was settled as early as the Stone Age, which is evident from finds on the lake shore. An Iron Age grave was found on the end of the pan handle. Only a few coins are documented from Roman times . The Männedorf area was then crossed by the Römerstrasse to Zurich and Rapperswil.
middle Ages
The settlement by the Alemanni probably took place in the 7th or 8th century. The place names allow conclusions to be drawn about the time of foundation. (Villages whose names end in -ingen are assigned to the transition from the 6th to the 7th century. Places with the ending -ikon refer to the transition from the 7th to the 8th century. Endings with -wil were used by the Alemanni in the 8th century. up to 9th century.) Männedorf obviously does not belong to any of these groups. The name of the village is associated with the Alemannic nobleman Manno. The inhabitants of the area then called the village “Dorf des Manno”, for the sake of simplicity afterwards “Mannodorf” and finally “Mannidorf”, as it is still called today by the long-time residents. The change of the name Manno to Mäni suggests Latin, which also uses the ending -i in the genitive. The doubled n in the place name was only introduced with the third postmark in 1855.
The first documentary mention was made in 933 on a deed of donation to the St. Gallen monastery regarding Ruppertsmatt , which is no longer shown on the local map today, or is named after the neighboring Oberstmatt located in the Üetiker area. The document is written in the official language of the time, Latin. A certain Ruodpert is said to have written it with the help of his governor Notker. The text was written by Chunibert, who calls himself a subdeacon. The certificate is signed by 35 people. At the end of the document, the author gives the year and "..., 6th induction, in the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Heinrich under Count Bernhard in the days of the Ides of August."
Early modern age
The village, originally inhabited by fishermen , farmers and winemakers , belonged to the Pfäfers monastery . For financial reasons it was later sold to the people of Einsiedeln . From 1405 to 1798 it was a Zurich Upper Bailiwick, as the Lower Bailiwick in the village center testifies. The subordinate was elected from among the population and was the highest office that a rural dweller could achieve. The tithe obligation towards Einsiedeln remained, however, and the tithe had to be delivered by ship to the governor's office in Pfäffikon at the expense of Meier . Only if there were two trips did the monastery pay for the second trip. Einsiedeln was also responsible for the remuneration of the (reformed) pastor, which repeatedly led to disagreements, since the abbot from Einsiedeln assumed a celibate priest when determining the wages , while the reformed pastor had his wife and children to support.
Modern times
According to the chronicler, the international boys' boarding school "zum Felsenhof" under the direction of Friedrich Staub not only ensured a good reputation in the 19th century, but also caused quite a stir in the village, with Russians and Brazilians among its pupils.
After the construction of the Zurich - Meilen - Rapperswil railway in 1894, an economic boom began. Some craft and industrial companies such as organ building, precision mechanics and alarm technology established themselves. The municipal works are now housed in the former office furniture factory. The Staub tannery , sub-supplier of the transmission belts for Sulzer , and the Brunner silk weaving mill no longer exist either. Brunner had once (after the District Postal Directorate and the Government ), the third phone in the canton. In keeping with rural life, there was a mill in Tiefenau, a forge and a few small brickworks for local needs, one of which was located on the current area of the lido. Sericulture in Widenbad was not a commercial success.
The Grob office furniture factory in Höchsteg ceased operations in 1977; Today the community's work yard is housed in their premises. The cold rolling machine factory on Rohrgasse was founded in 1962 by Ernst Grob, who was 69 at the time. After a devastating large production line, the Staub tannery was still producing drive belts for a Winterthur machine factory under the name Blue Max ; Today Tecan AG is there . In 1918 the "Schweizer Getränke AG" was founded and in 1931 it moved to Obermeilen .
coat of arms
- In gold, a black otter soaring , devouring a blue fish.
The Männedorfer municipal coat of arms originally comes from Eberhard von Ottikon , who served as Obervogt von Männedorf in the 15th century . In the course of history, instead of the otter, the coat of arms also showed a beaver , a squirrel and a lion . In 1930 the original from the 15th century was designated as the official coat of arms.

schools
Primary school
The Männedorf Primary School was originally divided into two parts. It consisted of a school in the village and a second in the village. In the village, the children were taught in the parish room (Löwen am See inn, today's retirement home). Since this was too small, land was bought on Brunngasse in 1808. For the construction of the Brunngasse school house, however, the money was not enough until 1819. There was a school house on the corner of Auf-Dorf-Strasse and Schuelerrain in Dorf. With the construction of the central school building on Blatten, the school was combined in 1835 and the two school houses in the village and on the village were sold as residential buildings that still exist today. The primary school building with library below the Catholic Church was added in 1898, supplemented from 1950 by the old secondary school building in between.
Secondary school
In September 1833, the then Grand Council ( Cantonal Council ) passed the law on higher elementary schools . This provided for a secondary school district for Uetikon , Oetwil and Männedorf. The 13-member secondary school administration elected on November 18, 1833 named Männedorf as the school location on April 11, 1834. The first annual course began on June 15, 1835 with teacher Johann Jakob Bär in the Männedörfler Zentralschulhaus. Around 70% of the number of students was split between Männedorf, 20% Uetikon and 10% Oetwil. School fees were abolished by the law of December 22, 1872. At the beginning of September 1875 the (old) secondary school in Männedorf east of the central school building could be moved into. A second class was opened in 1876 and a third class in 1898, after the number of students, which had long been 40, had risen to 90.
After a community center with classrooms had been built in Uetikon, in 1905 the Uetikon school administration applied for Uetikon to be separated from the Männedorf-Uetikon-Oetwil secondary school, which happened on April 30, 1908. The third apprenticeship position was then canceled again. The secondary school district was abolished by law in 1926. Oetwil and Männedorf then formed a special purpose association. In 1938 the secondary school was combined with the primary school. At that time she was visited by 66 children from the village and 6 from Oetwil.
In 1950 the secondary school moved into the (new) secondary school building on Blatten, which was supplemented in 1957/58 by a large gym in place of the school barn. The old secondary school building then served as the primary school's third school building.
politics
The introduction of proportional representation at cantonal level led to the establishment of local parties from 1917. The Liberals and the Social Democrats formed immediately, and two years later the Evangelical People's Party . From 1920 there was a trade party for six years. The Christian Social Party was founded in 1928. During the war, a local branch of the Democratic Party was established in 1942, but it soon disappeared. It was not until 1951 that the farmers' party organized .
In the 2019 National Council elections, the share of the vote in Männedorf was: SVP 23.6%, FDP 17.4%, glp 17.1%, Greens 14.0%, SP 13.5%, CVP 5.2%, EVP 3.4 %, EDU 2.4%, BDP 1.4%.
economy
Männedorf is home to the Männedorf Hospital, an indoor swimming pool, several retirement homes, a cinema, several hotels and the Brüschhalde cantonal children's home (former orphanage). In addition to a few industrial companies and an active trade, the last few farms also offer a livelihood. The Swiss headquarters of the Tyrolean company D. Swarovski are located in Männedorf .
tourism
In the field of tourism , one should mention the Zellersche Anstalt , founded by health worker Dorothea Trudel , today a Biblical and recreation home . Instead of the mud bath in the Widenbad and a bathing establishment in the "fretwork style" at Pfrunderhaab, the community now operates the indoor swimming pool in Halden and the lido on the lake in Ausserfeld, which was originally a private operation.
The oldest Swiss Protestant Academy in Boldern is located above Männedorf . Conferences on Christian and social issues have been held here since 1947.
traffic
Männedorf has a well-developed road network. The Seestrasse , the Bergstrasse and the Tramstrasse, Aufdorfstrasse and Allenbergstrasse , as state roads, are the main carriers of motorized traffic. Public transport is operated by the Zürichsee-Schiffahrtsgesellschaft (ZSG) with a boat connection to Wädenswil , by the transport companies Zürichsee and Oberland (VZO), with a bus connection to Uster and Wetzikon as a successor to the Wetzikon-Meilen-Bahn (with a station in Auf Dorf), and worn by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The right bank Zürichseebahn (Zürich – Meilen – Rapperswil) is the forerunner of the S-Bahn Zürich , which connects Männedorf today with the S 7 Winterthur - Kloten - Zürich HB - Stadelhofen - Meilen - Rapperswil . In the 1960s, it received RABDe 12/12 multiple units ( Mirage ) and the so-called rigid timetable (now a regular timetable ), financed by the Canton of Zurich . As a forerunner of the S-Bahn, the half-hourly service and self-control were tested on the line from 1968 onwards , and around 25 years later it was expanded to include regional services throughout Switzerland. As a curiosity, from 1948 to 1950, on the initiative and for the account of the tourist office , a bus connection called the local railway or tram ran from the train station to the lido with a jeep semi-trailer.
The airport can be reached from Männedorf in around 30 minutes by train or car. Since October 2003, part of the population has been affected by aircraft noise from southern approaches from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Culture
Most of the community's cultural life arises from private initiatives. In addition to the old Zurich customs such as school Silvester , Räbenlichter relocation costs and Schübligziischtig (up is in the 1980s) was the carnival of different clubs held on survival, such as the Soccer Club, later the family club and the Catholic Church.
The reading society experienced its heyday in the 19th century, when it gave the impetus for the introduction of the water supply. As its successor, the Kulturkreis regularly organizes concerts and readings.
On March 20, 2009, the Kulturschüür art gallery was opened in a former barn . It can be rented for private events. Local and regional artists can exhibit their work there. Concerts are held in the former gymnasium of the Blatten schoolhouse, the auditorium.
The community organizes an annual project competition for the design of the Aufdorf roundabout. The previous design is removed in December and replaced with a tall Christmas tree, which is then decorated for Christmas.
Craft
Well-known is Orgelbau Kuhn , the largest Swiss organ building company, which has been based here since 1864 . It has made a name for itself worldwide through new buildings and restorations.
The company "Cerberus" was based outside of Germany for around 30 years. The company, which belongs to the Elektrowatt Group, was the world market leader in fire protection before it was taken over by Siemens and merged with Staefa Control Systems and Landis & Gyr to form Siemens Building Technologies and relocated to Zug .
Healthcare
The Männedorf Hospital was founded in 1883, then still under the name Kreisasyl resp. District Hospital founded. The operation with originally nine beds has developed over the years (1920: 100 beds, 1955: 200 beds, 2012: 160 beds) into the district's modern focus hospital . In 2012, the district hospital was converted from a special purpose association into a stock corporation, with the previous sponsoring communities (excluding Oetwil) being the new shareholders and a shareholder agreement de facto preventing a sale to private individuals.
Männedorf has an above-average density of old people's and nursing homes. These include the Allmendhof communal nursing home on the Allmend, which has developed from the poor house founded in 1819. The small Seerose old people's home in the old “Löwen” in the village belongs to the Bethesda Alterszentren AG. It was previously run by an association after the Protestant-Reformed parish wanted to stop operations. The Emmaus Retirement Home is operated by the Bible Home in Schwerzi, which also operates retirement homes there. While the Sunnmatt retirement and nursing home is run by a private foundation, the operation in the Villa Alma is a private initiative. In addition to these homes, there are two settlements of the Foundation for Retirement Homes , one in Halden, the other on Allmend.
The Brüschhalde children's ward is a facility of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Service of the Canton of Zurich for the psychiatric clarification and treatment of children and adolescents.
Churches
On December 31, 2011, 40.4% of the population belonged to the Evangelical Reformed Church and 26.1% to the Roman Catholic Church . The Catholic Church of St. Stephan is the oldest Catholic church building on the right bank of Lake Zurich; It was built by the architect August Hardegger in the years 1892-1893.
The Evangelical Reformed Church, the Evangelical Methodist Church , the Männedorf Bible Home (founder Dorothea Trudel ) and the Christian Community in Männedorf belong to the local section of the Evangelical Alliance .
