Bezirk Dietikon

Have you ever wondered why this charming part of Zurich is called Bezirk Dietikon? It began in 1989 when the former Zurich District was split into three districts. The western part became Bezirk Dietikon, the eastern part remained the district of Zurich, and the municipality of Zollikon, located east of Zurich, was incorporated into the Meilen District. Bezirk Dietikon, the district we are standing in right now, is a vibrant place where history and modernity intertwine. Known as the Limmat Valley in German, Bezirk Dietikon is a bustling region with a diverse population and a rich history. If you look around, you will notice the urban fabric of Zurich is close by but you are still surrounded by lush, green farmlands. Bezirk Dietikon boasts 11 distinct municipalities, each contributing to the district’s unique character. The most populous municipality is Dietikon, the district’s capital city, followed by Schlieren, Aesch, and Urdorf. Some say that Bezirk Dietikon is the best representation of Swiss rurality and urbanism, a blend where traditional charm and modern dynamism create a harmonious balance. Wherever you go in Bezirk Dietikon, from the bustling city center to the peaceful countryside, you will find a welcoming atmosphere and a sense of community.
