Is this where the heart of Zurich beats a little slower? Here in Werd, nestled within the bustling city of Zurich, you’ll find a different pace of life. Don’t be fooled by its tranquil atmosphere though. Werd has been woven into the fabric of Zurich’s history since the very beginning. The name itself, “Werd,” is an old German word meaning “river island”. This hints at its early existence as a separate entity. In 1893, Werd was absorbed into the growing city of Zurich. It later became one of the three quarters forming the dynamic district of Aussersihl in 1913. Werd isn’t just about looking back, though. Today, it thrives as a vibrant blend of residential charm and urban energy. It’s a place where you can enjoy a peaceful stroll along the Limmat River or explore the trendy boutiques and cafes that line its streets. Werd invites you to experience the true essence of Zurich, a city that embraces both its storied past and its vibrant present.
