District in Switzerland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zurich District is a district (German: Bezirk) of the Swiss canton of Zurich in Switzerland.
In 1814, the former district of Zürich was established including the municipalities – "Landgemeinden des Bezirks Zürich" (country municipalities) – surrounding the old city of Zürich, the so-called Altstadt. The district of Zürich as it exists today, was created on 1 July 1989, by splitting the former district of Zürich into three parts:
Therefore, since 1 July 1989, the district of Zürich (SFOS number 0112) shares the same area as the city of Zürich (0261) with its subdivisions totalling 421,878 (as of 31 December 2020) inhabitants on an area of 87.78 km2 (33.89 sq mi).
From June 12, 2023, the services of the registration office will still be offered at three central locations: in the Stadthaus, at Oerlikon train station and at Helvetiaplatz. All locations are now available to Zurich residents regardless of where they live. This completes the process of gradually merging the originally twelve district offices, which started in 2017.
Since 1893 respectively 1934 the city of Zürich as well as the district of Zürich are formed by the old city of Zürich (Altstadt) and by a total of 19 former politically independent municipalities:
