Oberfeld is a district of the city of Winterthur . Together with the quarters Weinberg , Lindenplatz , Niederfeld , Neuburg , Hardau , Härti and Taggenberg it belongs to District 6 ( Wülflingen ).
geography
Oberfeld is located in the eastern part of Wülflingen and originally referred to as an agricultural area in the Eulach plain between Winterthur and Veltheim. The district itself, however, also includes parts of the Brühlberg including the houses on the eastern Brühlberghang and the Wülflinger part of the castle valley.
The district boundary is Wülflingerstrasse in the north, with the Weinberg district on the north side. To the west of the Lindenplatz district, which encompasses the center of the village, the border between various streets runs through to the Töss in the Schlosstal, which forms the border with the Neuburg district in the south-west. In the south, the quarter borders the Tössemer Quartier Schlosstal along the Brüelberghang . Then the border to the northeast runs slightly arched a few meters below the highest point around in the Brüelbergwald; here Oberfeld shares a border with the Brühlberg district , which is part of the city district. Back in Eulachtal the Quartier an approximately 100-meter-long border section shares also with the staff Neuwiesen but here Fluelistrasse forms to Wülflingerstrasse the main border Veltemer Quartier Blumenau .
education
The Erlen kindergarten and primary school are along the Eulach, and another kindergarten is in the castle valley. Some of the students from the southern part of the quarter attend the primary school in the Ausserdorf schoolhouse on Lettenstrasse immediately behind the neighborhood border.
The Wülflinger secondary school Hohfurri is also in Oberfeld and can be easily reached from anywhere in the district.
The Swiss Technical College in the Schlosstal valley at the southern end of the district has existed since 1962.
history
Apart from a few scattered houses, the Oberfeld was hardly built on until the mid-1920s. Only then was the first settlement built on Oberfeldstrasse and Tannenweg. With the construction of the first houses on January 30, 1925, the Oberfeld neighborhood association was founded, which was dissolved on March 6, 2015. The development of the district was boosted by the construction of the Hohfurri secondary school, which was accepted by the people in 1953 and opened two years later. As a result, a good two dozen three to four-story apartment blocks were built on Burgstrasse and Eckwiesenstrasse by 1958. The building boom continued after that, and by 1970 the entire Burgstrasse and a large part of the Lettenstrasse were built over, and the first houses were built beyond the Brühlberghang and towards the Schlosstal. The Brüelberghang was completely overbuilt until 1980 along the Hohfurristrasse, Bergblumenstrasse and Im Morgentau. From the 1980s until today the Brühlberghang was built over more and more.
The part of the quarter north of the Eulach is also worth mentioning. While Wülflingerstrasse was the main traffic artery that was being built in the 1920s at the same time as the rest of the Oberfeld district, there were still undeveloped meadows and fields there for a long time. This changed at the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s: in 1959 the Catholic Church of St. Laurentius on the corner of Wülflingerstrasse and Oberfeldweg was inaugurated, and the pit filled with water was closed and the Flüeli sports field, which opened in 1973, was built above it, so that Wülflingen was also created by then the rest of the city was structurally connected. SC Veltheim is playing on the Flüeli sports field today .
Transport links
In the north, the district is accessed along Wülflingerstrasse with trolleybus line 2 (Wülflingen – HB – Seen) from Stadtbus Winterthur . The southern part is accessed by bus line 7 (main station Wülflingen), which comes from the castle valley. On weekends, the night bus routes N67 (Winterthur – Neftenbach – Pfungen – Dättlikon) and N59 (Winterthur – Storchenbrücke – Schlosstal – Wülflingen station) run along the aforementioned lines out of town, but they only stop to get off.
Culture and leisure
The Brühlbergwald, around which the Brühlberg was built, offers itself as a recreational area. The Eulach in the north and the Töss in the Schlosstal are also ideal for strolling along the river banks. The Tösssteg , built in 1934 across the river by architects Robert Maillart and Walter Pfeiffer, is a listed building.
In addition to the Flüeli soccer field in the northeast of the quarter, there is also the Biocciodromo, which is ideal for playing boccia .
