Oberseen is a district of the city of Winterthur in the Swiss canton of Zurich , which belongs to the city district 3 ( lakes ).
geography
Oberseen is located southeast of the Seem town center and is slightly higher than it. The quarter is on a hillside. The Sonnenberg quarter is in the north of Obersee . To the west, the Tösstalbahn forms the border to the Büelwiesen district and the Seemer town center. To the south is the Gotzenwil outdoor watch with a footpath . In the forest areas to the east, Oberseen has common borders with the outer guard Eidberg and Ricketwil , with the latter being connected by a road.
Oberseen is traversed by the Oberseener Dorfbach, which flows into the Mattenbach . The Mattenbach itself forms the southern border of the Oberseener settlement area. Development plans south of the Mattenbach were discarded in 2012, so the city council anticipated an amendment to the cantonal structure plan.
education
Right next to the Oberseen bus terminus is the Oberseen schoolhouse, which unites all age groups from kindergarten to secondary school. In addition to Oberseen, the outside guards are also part of the catchment area of the secondary school located there. In addition to the Oberseen kindergarten, there is also the Grüntal kindergarten in the neighborhood.
population
The proportion of foreigners in the quarter is within the urban average and the age structure also differs little from the urban average. What is striking is the high proportion of married couples in the neighborhood at 54%, compared to the urban average of 39%. Furthermore, the proportion of people over 65 is 21%, almost a quarter above the urban average of 15%, and two percent above the average for the lakes district.
history
Oberseen already existed in the early Middle Ages in a double settlement with lakes. Which of the two districts arose first can no longer be precisely proven, due to the elevated slope of the Oberseen, it can be assumed that it was an early extension of the larger lake at that time. Oberseen is also never mentioned by name in the first documented mentions of the lake in donations to the St. Gallen monastery in the eighth and ninth centuries, but this can be assumed from the monastery's later fiefs to the Kyburgers. In later documents from the 13th century both lakes are sometimes referred to, which explicitly includes Oberseen.
At the beginning of the 15th century, Oberseen and lakes came under the rule of Zurich. A tax sledge from 1463 by the Kyburger Landvogt, in which Oberseen and other small farms around lakes are not listed by name, suggests that Oberseen was perhaps not populated at all at that time. In the tax books of the 1460s, however, Oberseen is again listed with 4 households, which suggests an estimated population of 25 people. At that time, the tax revenue for the authorities in Oberseen was only half as large as in lakes themselves.
At the end of the Middle Ages around 1500, land ownership in Oberseen was already fairly dispersed. The village of Oberseen was one of the poorer villages. In 1634 the community had 70 inhabitants in 17 households, 5 of them in Stocken . Nine years later the population dropped to 60 people in 13 households. In 1646 the population was 85 again. The population of Oberseen increased in the following years until 1678, when the village had 148 inhabitants in a total of 26 households. Thereafter, during the height of the Little Ice Age and the hunger crisis in the Zurich area of the 1690s , the population fell to 110 inhabitants, and then rose again to 196 people in 33 households by 1722. It remained largely the same in the following years, in 1771 190 people continued to be counted with the same number of households. At the end of the Ancien Regime in 1799, 151 people lived in 31 households in Oberseen. Of these, 24 were unemployed at the time, the unemployment rate of 16 percent was around a third higher than in the neighboring municipality of Lakes.
There were schoolmasters in Oberseen decades before 1700, but their status was initially unclear. This private school existed until 1771, at last 25 children were taught at the school. Afterwards the Oberseem children went to school in lakes. This led to a conflict in the course of a school building in the 1830s, in which the Seen school community demanded that Oberseen should build its own school house. However, a corresponding request to the Zurich government council was rejected by the latter.
In 1922, the political community of Seen was incorporated into Winterthur and in this context the previous civil community of Oberseen was dissolved. In the 1970s, Oberseen grew together with the core village of Seen as part of the building boom at the time. The Oberseen fire fighting train was disbanded in 1982, and the Sprützehüsli still reminds of it today . In the same year Oberseen received a direct connection to public transport with bus line 6 (HB – Oberseen, from 1991 a trolleybus line). In 1997, after a delay of several years, Oberseen received its own primary and secondary school, which had already been planned in the 1970 school space planning.
Transport links
Oberseen is served by the trolleybus route 3 (Rosenberg – HB – Oberseen) from Stadtbus Winterthur . The bus line runs along Landvogt-Waser- / Gotzenwiler- / Ricketwilerstrasse, which opens up the quarter next to Oberseenerstrasse.
Sports
The floorball club Red Ants Rychenberg Winterthur plays its home games in the Oberseen sports hall, which is part of the Oberseen school building . There is a riding school on Köhlbergstrasse.
