Gazing up at the Uetliberg mountain, have you ever wondered about the hidden treasures nestled at its foot? One such gem is the Reservoir Friesenberg. This unassuming structure plays a vital role in quenching the thirst of Zurich’s residents. The Reservoir Friesenberg is located within the Friesenberg district. This district is part of Wiedikon. It became part of Zurich in 1893. The area covers over 5 square kilometers and houses over 10,000 people. Now, the Reservoir Friesenberg isn’t the only notable landmark in this area. Friesenberg is also known for its two Jewish cemeteries: Unterer Friesenberg and Oberer Friesenberg. The older cemetery, Unterer Friesenberg, dates back to 1866. It holds the remains of notable figures like Felix Salten, the author of Bambi. The newer cemetery, Oberer Friesenberg, opened in 1952. It features a memorial to victims of the Nazi era. Interestingly, the Friesenberg district is well-connected. It’s served by the S10 S-Bahn line, with stations at Zurich Friesenberg, Zurich Schweighof, and Zurich Triemli. So, next time you’re near the Uetliberg, remember the story of Friesenberg. It’s a district that holds both the life-giving waters of Reservoir Friesenberg and the quiet memories of its cemeteries.
