Zurich Facts
Zurich has played the part of an important trade center in the Alps since the time of the Romans. Although the name of the teutonic settlement of Zurich, did not appear until the 9th century AD, the city as we know it today has actually been inhabited since prehistoric times.
During the Rennaisance, the city of Zurich was largely influenced by its various trading guilds that went on to turn the city into a mighty commercial player, a reputation that the local community has managed to maintain until this very day.
In the early 20th century, Zurich wasn’t just a banker’s paradise; it was the birthplace of Dadaism. In 1916, when war was raging across Europe, the Swiss city became a haven for pacifists, exiles, artists, and writers who would congregate in the newly opened Cabaret Voltaire, where they launched the movement that would eventually influence Surrealism, beat poetry, and pop music.
