Bahnhofstrasse
"Bahnhofstrasse" (a poem Zürich 1918) |
Kaufleuten
In 1918, The Importance of Being Earnest was performed here by the English Players with Henry Carr (reimmortalised by Tom Stoppard in Travesties). The Kaufleuten is again used as a theatre. |
Pfauen Cafe
Meeting place with Budgen during the First World War where Joyce often drank Fendant white wine ("Erzherzogin": "archdiochesse … artstouchups …", FW 171.25). Heimplatz or Pfauen is now part of the Mövenpick restaurant chain. (A peacock sign is all that remains of the inn from Joyce's time. The interior has been completely renovated) |
Platzspitz
Meeting of the Waters, Limmat and Sihl, park behind the main station, site of Joyce photographs 1938 (soon ZJJF postcards). |
Kronenhalle Restaurant
A restaurant patronised by Joyce in the thirties. The Kronenhalle people generously supported Nora Joyce in the bad years after Joyce died. There are famous paintings on the walls. Situated at Bellevue, at the bottom of Rämistrasse.

Universitätstrasse 38
When you exit the tram you are facing Universitätstrasse 38. There is a plaque and the faded name "Fortuna" on the facade. Walk around the side of the building to see "Station Ulysses". Behind it you will see a part of the university that was once the Maternity Hospital (Frauenklinik): for months Joyce had the Zürich equivalent of Holles Street right under his eyes.

Across the street and down the hill from Universitätstrasse 38.
From his window Joyce could see Marthe Fleischmann's window; she lived at Culmannstrasse 6 (probably now No. 8).

Tram No. 5 or 6 to the Zoo.
Fluntern Cemetery (Friedhof)
The cemetery is right behind the terminal: take first entrance, go up an avenue of birches as far as it goes, then turn right and look for the steps (on your left) that take you to the statue made by Milton Hebald and inaugurated on Bloomsday 1966.

On the way down (or up) from the zoo, get off at "Plattenstrasse" (near the University, also within walking distance from Universitätstrasse)
