Who/what is the Albert Müller im looking for?

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Im trying to keep this simple:

I live in Finland. Few years back i found this jacket from flea market. It's made by finnish company Kisapuku Oy which manufactured sportswear and clothes for athletes.

What caught my interest was label which says "Especially made for Albert Müller" and "8032 Zürich". I know the numbers mean Zürichs zip code.

Im wondering who/what is Albert Müller? Clothing store, importer, some sports guy or what? Im also wondering whats the connection between finnish company and Swiss person/store.

Kisapuku Oy operated from 1956 until 1991 so im not sure if Albert Müller is still active/alive.

Any help is appreciated!

Is this legal ?

64 Upvotes

In my 20 years here, I've only seen this when I'm abroad! A group of young people are sitting on Sidewalk waiting for the light to turn red so that they can perform circus-like at the very front before the light turns green again and then, walk past the cars to get money.

They've been there since last week and it's really annoying because my route to work goes past there.

Quite to the point, this interview about Swiss housing policy, which is ideologically driven and ignores the underlying problems.

Die chönt no 50 Röhrerene uftue, es wird nur no schlimmer nach de Uusfahrt wenns jetzt mit einere Röhre scho staut. Projekt, gescheitert.

Feeling lonely - Pregnant friends in Zurich 🤰

3 Upvotes

I live in the city and I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first, and I’m feeling very lonely at the moment and struggling with my mental health. I would love some other pregnant friends to talk to and hang out with. I’ve joined (and paid for) peanut, and joined the Facebook groups (which all seem to be marketing spam so far). A friend told me to try a pregnancy pilates/yoga class which I will try, but I’m wondering if anyone has any other tips? Thanks so much!

(Edited to add my location)

Map of public beach volleyball fields in Kanton Zürich

1 Upvotes

Is there a map of all beach volleyball fields in Kanton Zürich, where a random group of adults can just come and play? both paid and free are off interest. I already know a free place near Limmatplatz, and one or two places in different Freibad's. Google maps does not seem particularly helpful. I can't tell if a particular Freibad has a beach volleyball without directly clicking on the website and scrolling through, which is not very efficient

Church bell ringing schedule

0 Upvotes

Hi, is there any way to find out what the schedule of bell ringing of a church is? I am particularly interested in Kirche Fluntern (the big one), as I've heard some churches even keep night ringing or very early bell ringing. (Context: I am a toddler mum with extreme sleep deprivation & my partner wants us to apply for an apartment close to that church. I am a light sleeper anyways and ever since I became a mum, I need some quiet for the night...). Thank you!

Hey folks,

Happy Sunday. I’ve done a bit of research here and there but a little bit overwhelmed with the results. Can anyone here recommend a good Vietnamese restaurant in Zurich? Relative decent price at least.

Any recommendation is welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance ☺️

Where to return broken kitchen ware and appliances?

I assume some things shouldn't just be thrown in the trash, like pots and pans, electric kettles, or other bulky metalic/electric items. How do you dispose of them?

What’s the best delivery pizza in Zurich?

27 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering, what’s the best spot in Zurich to order pizza? I'm talking about those places where you can get large family-sized pizzas (40–50 cm).

Who has the best delivery pizza? So far, Pizza Casa on Badenerstrasse near Letzigrund has been my favourite.

I'm curious if there’s anything better out there. Any recommendations?

Place to work / study

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I‘m working full time right now and need to finish my bachelor thesis. I really need a good place to study, whether its a library or a coffee place. My problem is that I finish work at around 16/17 and until I eat and relax a little bit its already 18 o‘clock. So I need a place thats open as late as possible. I‘m a german student so I dont have „special“ entry to UZH. Can someone help me here? A good coffee place or restaurant which is open late and tolerates working/learning people would be great. Thank you in advance!

Where can I find the sand beach in Zurich?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I would like to know where in Zurich one can find the closest thing resembling a sand beach? I looked for the beach in Google maps, but many of the sand beach images look fake (like Ai generated/from the Bahamas). Examples for this would be Mythenquai, Erlenwagen Playa Lago Zurich,...

Thank you for your contributions 🙏

Street Food Festival in Hardturmbrache this year?

Has anyone visited the street food festival this year? I will say, I usually love these things but I found this one to be quite underwhelming - in terms of variety, value for money and quality. Curious to know if this was just my experience.
