The map
Winterthur is the sixth-largest city in Switzerland, about twenty minutes by train northeast of Zurich. Its medieval old town is small and clearly defined: a tight rectangle of streets around the Marktgasse, one of the country's longest pedestrian shopping streets. On the map it is a dense knot that the later city has grown around.
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Winterthur became an industrial centre. Engineering firms such as Sulzer and the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works built large works beside the railway. Many of those halls have since become homes, schools and cultural spaces. The city is also known for its art museums and for the Technorama science centre.
A Winterthur map poster shows the contrast between old and industrial. The small old town sits next to the long rectangles of the former works and a broad fan of railway tracks. Forested hills close in on several sides, and the Töss and Eulach run across the lower ground.
The historic centre keeps its medieval outline. Parallel lanes run around the Marktgasse, making a compact, clearly bounded block that stands out from the looser suburbs.
Southwest of the station, the former factory grounds show as large blocks and long buildings. It is an industrial footprint that has since been converted to new uses.
Wooded hills such as the Eschenberg border the city. They leave wide blank areas on the map that frame the built-up valley floor.
