Zurich - City Archives Neumarkt

Set back from the Spiegelgasse in the east side of Zurich's old town, Gottfried Keller House was the birthplace of the great Swiss writer Gottfried Keller (commemorative plaque); he was the first Chief Clerk of the canton of Zurich. Close by, at Rindermarkt 12, is the Oepfelchammer restaurant, a favorite haunt of his. The house in which he died is at Zeltweg 27, southeast of the Heimplatz.
