Über Stäfa
Stäfa ist ein Dorf mit einer Bevölkerung von 14'000 Personen, und liegt am rechten Ufer des Zürichsees, der sogenannten "Goldküste". Die Geschichte von Stäfa kann bis zum 10. Jahrhundert zurück verfolgt werden, wo es noch durch eine Allianz eng mit dem Kloster von Einsiedeln verbunden war.
Im späten 18. Jahrhundert war Stäfa der Brennpunkt einer Bewegung, die gleiche Rechte für die Leute vom Land verlangte, wie diese die Bürger von Zürich seinerzeit genossen. Die Anfrage, bekannt als der „Stäfner Handel“, wurde jedoch durch die Regierung abgelehnt , welche im Gegenzug ihre Truppen nach Stäfa aussandte und das Dorf für zwei Monate im Sommer von 1795 besetzte. Ein Denkmal (der „Patriot“) erinnert an die Anführer des Aufstandes (Heinrich Neeracher, Hans Kaspar Pfenninger und Johann Jakob Bodmer). Sie ist nahe der Schiffslandestelle zu besichtigen.
Im September und Oktober des Jahres 1797, besuchte Johann Wolfgang Goethe auf seiner zweiten Reise nach Italien Stäfa und hat da einige zeit residiert. Darum findet sich in Stäfa eine Goethestrasse.
Heute ist Stäfa eine wohlhabende Gemeinde mit einer diversifizierten Wirtschaft. Die Tätigkeiten reichen vom High-Tech-Hörgerätehersteller PHONAK hin zur Produktion des Weins (Riesling Sylvaner, Räuschling oder dem Clevner). Mit einem privilegierten Sonnenhang-Klima ist Stäfa auch das grösste Weinbaugebiet im Kanton Zürich.

About Stäfa
Stäfa is a village with a population of 14'000 located on Lake Zurich, 25 kilometers or about 30 minutes by car or by train to the east of Zurich.
The history of Stäfa can be traced as far back as the 10th century, when it was closely allied with the Monastery of Einsiedeln.
In the late 18th century, Stäfa was the focal point of a movement demanding equal rights for the country people as those enjoyed by the citizens of Zurich. The demands, known as the "Staefner Memorial", where rejected by the Government, which in turn sent troops to Staefa and occupied the village for two months in the summer of 1795. A monument (the "Patriot") in memory of the leaders of the uprising (Heinrich Neeracher, Hans Kaspar Pfenninger and Johann Jakob Bodmer) is situated near the boat harbor.
In September and October of 1797, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the eminent German writer, on his second voyage to Italy, visited Stäfa and stayed with his friend Heinrich Meyer. "Kunschtmeyer", as he became known, joined Goethe in Weimar and became a renowned man of letters in his own right.
Today, Stäfa is a prosperous community with a diversified economy. Activities range from the truly High-Tech, the "Hearing-Aid" company PHONAK being one of the world leaders in its domain, to the production of wine (RieslingxSylvaner[w], Raeuschling[w] and Clevner[r]). With a privileged climate, Staefa is also the largest wine-growing area in the canton of Zurich.
