Regensdorf
Regensdorf (Swiss Standard German pronunciation: [ˈreːɡn̩sdɔrf]) is a municipality in the Dielsdorf District of the canton of Zürich, Switzerland. It is the largest city in the Furttal region.
Katzensee is a lake that also includes Strandbad Katzensee, a lido on the border with the Affoltern quarter of the city of Zürich.
Regensdorf is first mentioned in 870 as Reganesdorf. In 931, it was mentioned as Wat and in 1040 as Adalinchova, probably when Alt-Regensberg Castle was built by the House of Regensberg.
Regensdorf has an area of 14.6 km2 (5.6 sq mi). Of this area, 43.5% is used for agricultural purposes, while 23.6% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 30.6% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (2.3%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
The municipality is located on both sides of the Furtbach (Furt stream). It consists of the villages of Watt (which in turn includes the hamlets of Oberdorf, Altburg, Katzensee and Neu-Hard), Adlikon and Regensdorf (which includes the hamlets of Alt-Hard and Geissberg).
Regensdorf sits in a plain, at an elevation of 443 metres (1,453 ft). The shallow east–west Furt valley in which it sits is surrounded by several hills. To the north is Regensberg (617 m (2,024 ft)), on which stands Regensberg Castle. To the northwest, beyond Buchs, is Lägern (866 metres (2,841 ft)). To the south is Gubrist (615 metres (2,018 ft)), through which passes the A1 motorway via the Gubrist Tunnel. To the southwest is Altberg (632 metres (2,073 ft)), on the summit of which stands Waldschenke Altberg.
Regensdorf has a population (as of 31 December 2020) of 18,568. As of 2007[update], 31.4% of the population was made up of foreign nationals. Over the last ten years the population has grown at a rate of 16.5%. Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (77.8%), with Italian being second most commbon (5.6%) and Albanian being third (3.9%).
In the 2007 election the most popular party was the SVP which received 48.2% of the vote. The next three most popular parties were the SPS (16.5%), the FDP (9.5%) and the CVP (8.7%).
