history

The area of the quarter, although close to it, does not belong to the original lakes settlement area. Waldegg was built in the late 1960s with a medium-sized development along Waldeggstrasse and Heinrich-Bosshardstrasse with a maximum of four floors. This contrasted with the urban development in the Waser quarter, which was being built on the other side of Tösstalstrasse at the same time. In the spring of 1976, the Steinacker school building in the neighborhood was opened and, thanks to prefabricated building elements, it took only 13 months to build. Later, single-family houses were built along the edge of the settlement, also emphasizing the character of the quarter.

Transport links

The district is served along Tösstalstrasse by trolleybus line 2 (Wülflingen – HB – Seen) from Stadtbus Winterthur , whose stops “Waldegg” and “Hinterdorf Seen” are on the edge of the district.
