The twon of Zürich - first mentioned ca 670 and a city since 929 - was originally
a possession of the Abbey of Fraunmünster. In the course of the following centuries
it acquiered many sovereign rights and by 1267 it had in fact become a free city.
Already allied to some of the Swiss Cantons for some years, Zürich finally joined
the Confederation in 1351.
