Nestled in Zurich’s district 12, Hirzenbach whispers tales of transformation. Once a sparsely populated area due to its marshy grounds, Hirzenbach saw a boom in the 1950s. The land was drained, and affordable housing sprang up, largely cooperative apartments, addressing the city center’s housing shortage. By the late 1960s, this building spree shaped the Hirzenbach we see today, a residential haven with a minimal industrial presence. Hirzenbach boasts a population of 11,265 spread across 2.62 square kilometers. This vibrant community sits within the Glatt Valley. It officially became part of Zurich in 1934, after previously being part of Schwamendingen municipality. Modern Hirzenbach is a blend of long-term cooperative residents and newer arrivals, primarily from Southern Europe and Africa. This cultural mix adds to the unique tapestry of the neighborhood. The predicted population growth underscores Hirzenbach’s ongoing evolution and appeal. The area is poised to experience a significant increase in residents, further transforming the landscape and community dynamics of Hirzenbach.
