Have you ever heard a cat go to Wallisellen? Wallisellen is a town in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland. It has its origins between 400 and 700 BC, after the Germanic migration of the peoples. It is named according to both parts “Walchen” and “Seller”. Wallisellen’s location on the Glatt Valley has influenced its development. Even though it grew from a village to a suburb of Zurich, it has never had a city charter. Wallisellen is known in the German part of Switzerland due to a rhyme: “Aazelle, Bölle schelle, d’Chatz gaht uf Walliselle, chunnt si wider hei, hät si chrummi Bei, piff paff puff und du bisch (ehr und redlich) duss”. The rhyme translates into: “Counting, peeling onions, the cat goes to Wallisellen, comes she back home, has she crooked legs, piff paff and you are (honestly and candidly) outside”. This town has a rich history and an even richer Swiss German rhyme that echoes the spirit of its people.
