Gemeindebibliothek Horgen

On behalf of the municipal council and the municipal administration, I would like to welcome you to Horgen. The district capital of Horgen is a diverse, lively and vibrant municipality with almost 24,000 inhabitants, beautifully situated on Lake Zurich. It stretches from the lower parts of the village on the lake across the millennia-old moraine landscapes in Hirzel to the Albisgrat ridge.

Horgen covers all the needs for an enjoyable, contented life on a beautiful, manageable piece of land. The diverse industry with numerous innovative SMEs, the comprehensive range of health and care services and the intact, nature-loving agriculture offer many employees a local workplace. The excellent access to the public transport network, the educational opportunities and the wide range of shopping facilities for everyday needs make living in the village a pleasant experience.

I invite you to discover the urban living space as well as the forest and meadow landscapes together with family and friends - perhaps even to conquer something. Enjoy a shorter or longer stay in Horgen as a guest or resident and let your new Horgen contacts, friends, neighbors and work colleagues show you around our municipality.

Have fun getting to know our municipality.
