Hier&Jetzt

When the Murer Plan was published in 1576, it was as if a magician had pulled a rabbit out of a hat. For the first time, the people of Zurich saw their city from a bird's-eye view. Even today, this masterpiece of cartography hangs in many offices and homes. However, Jos Murer (1530–1580) shaped the art of the Renaissance not only as a cartographer but also as a stained glass artist. Numerous examples of his "crystal-bright" artworks are displayed in museums worldwide. Less known is that he wrote several plays that were performed in the Fraumünster courtyard and became true public festivals.

But how did Jos Murer manage to depict the city with all its winding alleys and sturdy towers from above? And how did he manage to serve as a council member while also providing for a family of twelve children with his wife Barbara, despite the plague and deteriorating climate?

Martin Weiss takes us on an exciting narrative journey through the life and work of the "da Vinci of Zurich," illustrating his story at the sites of the Murer Plan, all set against the dramatic upheavals of the time.
