This is insane. I live in Zurich. I recognise so much. Unlike London, Zurich hasn't change much at all. It's weird to see the Zuri crowd more than 100 years ago. I wonder what they were like.
Say, do you recognize the building at 4:49? I don’t know if it still exists, I’ve never seen it before despite having visited the city several times a year Edit; Found it out to be the Tonhalle, sadly ofcourse demolished
Colour adds so much to a video. To think that the world was just about to change so much. What you see in this video really is a moving photo, capturing the calm before the storm
Looking at these hauntingly beautiful images, I’m struck by how everyone - likely even the youngest - are gone, but the shadows around them are cast by the same star that shines on Earth now.
Not only are they all dead, but also many of their children and even quite many of their grandchildren, even those of the children in the footage. Not everyone lives to be 90.
Omg... I was a passanger last year and did not realize how special it was. Looking at the end of the video and knowing about this fact gives me chills. Thanks for this info!
Funny enough i noticed that ship "Stadt Rapperswil" whilst in Zürich back in 2010. I was invited down for an interview in Rapperswil, whilst working in Ulm. Took the train to the Bodensee and then on the Schweizer Bahn to Zürich. Didnt get the job(i live in Berlin) but it was certainly wonderful travelling around the sea from Zürich Hauptbahnhof to Rapperswil 😂
Zurich looks fairly similar even today! My great grandmother's family came to the USA around this time. Strange feelings for me that this is the Switzerland she knew.
Wow! I am a Zürich Citizen. My aunt was born in 1914. The camera moves look a little too smoove for these times. Did I realize a zoom move? Anyway: beautiful! Thank you for these pictures of a brautiful city!
At the beginning of the film, it’s interesting to see some Swiss steam locomotive power. The outbreak of World War I accelerated the electrification of Swiss railways since the supply of coal had become costly and unreliable.

Makes me appreciate our city even more. Now I just want to go out and film similar places and just document every day life, just to see how it's changed.
What an amazing world without cars! Well, almost without cars. Two or three cars can be seen. Those were just the beginnings. It must have been much more quiet and peaceful than nowadays. Zürich ❤
after so many years, Zurich looks still the same but with extra in detail improved things.... the railways are still in use, and places look the same but with new colors and a little bit of styling, like the old one used in 1914... How could we not love Zurich?
Love this Videos. Im Form Siwtzerland and was there many many times and recognize so many places in wich i made memorys and can now see (and feel) how many other people made memorys there :D so thx ^^
@@Rudis_Garage Naja in Amerika gabs auch Städte die für die Autokultur abgerissen wurden. Bombem waren nur ein kleiner Grund warum im 20Jahrhundert so viele Städte kaputt gingen. Oftmals haben Architekten weitaus mehr Schaden angerichtet.
@@linajurgensen4698 Ja. Aber dann gab es zwei unterschiedliche Ansätze. Wiederaufbauen wie zum Beispiel München, alte Architektur. Oder Neubau wie z.B. Frankfurt. Das war eine Bewusste Entscheidung und die meisten Städte haben sich damals dafür entschieden eine "moderne" Autofreundliche Stadt zu bauen. Die Allierten haben die Deutschen nach dem Krieg nicht dazu gezwungen Autobahnen durch eine ehemalige historische Innenstadt zu bauen das waren die Deutschen selber. Und das ist kein Vorwurf an die Deutsche Nachkriegszeits Generation sondern ein Trend der Weltweit stattfand leider zum Teil auch in der Schweiz. Zu sagen das heutige Deutsche Städte wegen den Bomben so aussehen ist nur ein kleiner Teil der Wahrheit.
They look nearly the same. I recognized all the places and dont even life in the city. But there are alot more things to block the view now. Like cars, trams, street signs, advertisements etc.
You can not go back, but you can film the exact same places today, and compare it with the take from the past. A similar idea had another person in the city St. Gallen. He takes old postcards with pictures from the city and searches the exact same place in the city today and takes a current photo. After he upload the two pictures on his webside.
OMG🤭 "Stadt Rapperswil Schiff" where still exist and where I work during every November for" Expovina Wein Schiff" in Burkiplatz.. This video is unbelievable❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing - very liitle has changed in a century. Most of the buildings you see are still there, perfectly well preserved. I guess that happens when you successfully avoid two world wars. Let us hope a century hence, Zürich remains as beautiful as she is today & was in the past!
berührend.... die Leute, die damals gelebt und gestaunt haben, sind alle schon tot..... viele Bauten sind noch da! ein ganz schöner Film mit gut gewählter Musik!
a very nostalgic and distortingly beautiful documentation, but be reminded that it portrays only the very wealthy population; there was a lot of poverty back then. In the second half of the 19th century Switzerland was one of the poorest countries in Europe, where thousands of Swiss citizens were forced to emigrate to North and South America (many of them were literally expelled from Switzerland by the municipalities with a one-way ticket). Dankjewel en groetjes uit Zürich! Marco
But this Film shows Zurich in 1914. By then, Switzerland was no longer such a poor Country. In addition, a large Number of People who are doing very well emigrated in the previous Centuries.
@@grandcru5690 But as Bad botch mentionned, you really see only the wealthy people. The workers and lower class people where not in that area. They lived in very poor conditions.
The city did not cover the same area as it does now... places like Oerlikon, Albisreider and Altstetten did not join the city until 1934. Also the population was 440k in the 1960s but decreased to 360k in the 1980s and then started a slow turn around.
I live there and a lot of the buildings still look like this! Funny! If you showed me a pic like this without the people or public transport I wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.
Wonderful advanced culture, THIS is where 'privilege' comes from my friends. From a history of hard work and evolved minds who keep their societies clean
Amazing how much of the places still exist and look quite the same today. Ai did a good job colouring. But it should learn from more recent colour images of zürich, about the colours of the zürich flags and trams which can be found all over the place. If that would work the result would be even more amazing.
