Winterthur at a glance

Winterthur is Switzerland's sixth-largest city and the second city of the canton of Zurich, a short train ride from Zurich itself. Once a centre of engineering and the textile trade, it is now known for the ZHAW university of applied sciences, its art museums and its green residential areas. The language is German. The city is divided into seven districts (Kreise), from the Old Town to Veltheim, Töss and Seen, with a mix of rented flats and family houses with gardens. That mix shows in the small jobs people ask for: cleaning, gardening and hedge trimming, help with moving, furniture assembly and homework help. Winterthur has its own municipal minimum wage on the books, but it is not in force yet.
