      • Schlieren (ZĂĽrich German Schlierä) is a municipality in the district of Dietikon in the canton of ZĂĽrich in Switzerland.


      History



      The oldest artifact discovered in the Canton of ZĂĽrich is a Stone Age Neanderthal hand axe which was found in Schlieren, and dates back to approximately 100,000 BCE.
      Schlieren was first mentioned in 828. Until 1415, Schlieren belonged to Habsburg. After the conquest of Aargau by the Swiss Confederates it was a component of the county of Baden. In 1803 Schlieren was assigned to the Canton of ZĂĽrich. In 1777 the minister Heinrich Keller created here the first "deaf-mute school" in Switzerland. In the late 1800s, Schlieren began evolving from a rural agricultural village into a burgeoning urban town, a change driven by the industrial revolution. Thanks to the proximity to the city of ZĂĽrich and the good traffic facilities (Tram, S-Bahn), Schlieren showed a population growth of 10,000 since the 1930s.
      Schlieren was considered for inclusion of the expansion of Zurich's city limits, but was ultimately not part of the expansion of 1934.

      Transportation



      The municipality is served by two railway stations, on different lines of the ZĂĽrich S-Bahn. Schlieren railway station is in the geographic centre of the municipality and a stop on lines S3 and S12. Although Urdorf railway station takes its name from the adjoining municipality of Urdorf, it is actually located just within the boundaries of Schlieren, and is a stop on lines S9 and S15.
      Between 1900 and 1931, Dietikon was a stop on the Limmattal tramway from ZĂĽrich, and from 1931 to 1955 it was the terminus of that line. Until recently, it was the terminus of ZĂĽrich trolleybus route 31 that replaced the truncated tramway. The Limmattal light rail line follows a similar alignment, from ZĂĽrich Altstetten railway station to Killwangen, and ZĂĽrich tram route 2 will be extended to Schlieren to replace the trolleybus.
