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 patch of earth. 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. Below you will find the departments of the municipality of Horgen
