Der Platzspitz or Platzpromenade is an impressive park located in Zurich that boasts an intriguing history. Situated on an undulating landmass between Limmat and Sihl rivers that join at its endpoints, it serves as an essential link between Industriequartier outside Sihl River and Zurich proper. Mainbahnhof Zurich and Landesmuseum separate it further from this urban core.
Der Platzspitz has had an eventful history. Beginning as farmland in the 15th century, before a protective house and horseracing track were constructed; during which period its land was utilized as pastureland by cattle before an enclosed courtyard was created to house them and an enclosure set aside as a shooting range was opened up in its place. By 18th-century time had come for him to transform into an elegant baroque park garden featuring alleyways along the riverbanks as well as an ode to poet-stateman Salomon Gessner who's memorial rests there still greet visitors today; used by Zurcher society such as Gottfried Keller or James Joyce himself!
After the construction of Zurich's Mainbahnhof, its park lost much of its significance, gradually being transformed into a landscape park. But in the 1980s, its prominence increased considerably when drug seekers began gathering around its famous Square Park to meet. Due to this event and an international network of drug users from Central Europe arriving together with associated crime, Zurich became international news. Due to an open Drogenscene which caused its presence to spread worldwide resulting in it eventually leading to its closure as a public park.
Today, the Plaza Spit has closed its troubling chapter and is once more available to the public. After an intensive revitalization program was carried out, its park reopened its gates offering visitors a place of rest and relaxation. Limmatufer life as well as revitalized Lettenareals has contributed greatly towards giving new meaning and life back into this historic location.
