Historical Development of Herrliberg: From Farming Village to Upscale Resort

Herrliberg's history stretches back a long way. The area around Lake Zurich was already settled in the Middle Ages, but it wasn't until the 19th century that the community began to develop into a desirable residential area.

Early Beginnings

Archaeological finds prove that the area around Herrliberg was already inhabited in prehistoric times.

In the Middle Ages, Herrliberg belonged to the County of Zurich and was primarily agricultural. Farmers cultivated the fertile soils surrounding the lake, while fishing played an important role.

Rise in the 19th Century

At the beginning of the 19th century, the picture changed significantly.
Industrialization led wealthy Zurich citizens to begin building villas and country estates in Herrliberg.

This was primarily due to the magnificent views of Lake Zurich and the Alps. Furthermore, the easy accessibility via shipping routes and the railway line from Zurich contributed to the increasing importance of this location.

Today's Picture

Today, Herrliberg is known as one of the most exclusive residential areas in the Zurich region. The residential areas with their spacious gardens, well-kept streets, and impressive lake views characterize the townscape.

Despite its noble reputation, Herrliberg has retained its charm: here, tradition and modernity combine harmoniously.
