Simply Zurich - Zurich Sports History

Description

Did you know that FCZ was the first Swiss football club to have advertising on their jerseys? That swastika flags once flew in Letzigrund, under which around ten thousand people cheered? Or what the invention of Birchermüesli has to do with collective air bathing in the Zurich city oasis? Sports historian Michael Jucker takes us through the Simply Zurich exhibition and tells surprising, often amusing and quirky stories from the sports history of the city and canton based on selected objects: Which sports were already practiced here in the Middle Ages? When did sport really become a leisure activity and why? In what form were women allowed to participate? But above all: How did Zurich actually become a sports city? And does it still deserve this name? Registration via the Simply Zurich website.
