Beautiful Zürich, Switzerland in 1914 in color! [A.I. enhanced & colorized] 

I didn't realize how well preserved Zürich is until I saw this and realized I can still recognize many of the places that are shown. That's really amazing, thank you for uploading this little treasure!

Every single person in the video is now gone, but the ship "Stadt Rapperswil" is still in service. Absolutely midblowing.

This is insane. I live in Zurich. I recognise so much. Unlike London, Zurich hasn't change much at all. It's weird to see the Zuri crowd more than 100 years ago. I wonder what they were like.

Looking at these hauntingly beautiful images, I’m struck by how everyone - likely even the youngest - are gone, but the shadows around them are cast by the same star that shines on Earth now.

The ship "Stadt Rapperswil" is still in operation, unbelievable. It was launched in 1914. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadt_Rapperswil_(ship,_1914)

Colour adds so much to a video. To think that the world was just about to change so much. What you see in this video really is a moving photo, capturing the calm before the storm

Zurich looks fairly similar even today! My great grandmother's family came to the USA around this time. Strange feelings for me that this is the Switzerland she knew.

04:52 it's a shame the old "Tonhalle" building fell victim to the hideousness some people call modern architecture, a marvelous edifice

Going back is like time travel. All have been long gone but we can still see them as if it was yesterday. Thank you much.

Each of your videos are like a timecapsule. Absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting this!!

Amazing how little the city center changed in 100 years! Lovely!!

At the beginning of the film, it’s interesting to see some Swiss steam locomotive power. The outbreak of World War I accelerated the electrification of Swiss railways since the supply of coal had become costly and unreliable.

Schöni Altstadtbesichtigung. Chasch hüt au so mache. D Rapperswil fahrt immer na. Danke fürs Teile 👍❤️

All people wore hats :) wow this nostalgia, next time I walk through Zurich I will have these pictures in my head and see Zurich with different eyes 💗

Thank you very much for sharing the film with us. Great work! All those people in the film would very easely recognize todays Zurich.

Beautiful Zurich is my favorite city in Europe!

after so many years, Zurich looks still the same but with extra in detail improved things.... the railways are still in use, and places look the same but with new colors and a little bit of styling, like the old one used in 1914... How could we not love Zurich?

Fantastische Zeitreise durch Zürich von 1914 und das in Farbe unglaublich.

Makes me appreciate our city even more. Now I just want to go out and film similar places and just document every day life, just to see how it's changed.

Thanks for sharing. Amazing how the core of the city is still recognizable after 100+ years.

Very nice trip back in history! Just to give you some ideas where this places are. Main train station. The big arrival hall isn't there yet but the building in the back still exists. 0:46 Square in front of the main train station. Still looks the same. If you walk right, you get into Bahnhofstrasse. 1:17-2:48 Main train station and the building that looks like a medival castle is the Swiss National Museum built in 1898. Looks pretty much the same today. There is a modern extension to the trainstation to the right now. 3:16 Still the same shop at Paradeplatz. Grieder, if you have too much money. 4:09 Looks completely different today. It's also Paradeplatz. Building right is the Credit Suisse building at Paradeplatz (still exists). The two buildings to the left, behind the tram, are gone and have been replaced by the UBS head quarter. 4:27 Pavillion still exists at Bürkliplatz 4:48 Tonhalle. Still exists but the front was changed in 1937. Was recently reopened after renovation. 5:01-5:34 looks pretty identical 6:56 this is interresting! The houses over the river Limmat to the left are gone! The view over the city is almost unchanged. 7:02 Big building in the back is the brand new University of Zurich building. Built in 1914! Paddle steamer "Stadt Rapperswil" is still in operation. The boat was launched on City of Rapperswil was launched on 29. Mai 1914. The second vessel is probably "Stadt Zurich", also still operational and was launched in 1909. Very popular in Summertime!

Another awesome time traveling video. Much appreciated Rick. Thank you. 😊

Beautiful Zurich, after watching this film I feel time stood still!

Wonderful. Superbly restored film. Hauntingly beautiful music.

Very cool, thank you for making colorful videos♥️♥️💯

Wow! I am a Zürich Citizen. My aunt was born in 1914. The camera moves look a little too smoove for these times. Did I realize a zoom move? Anyway: beautiful! Thank you for these pictures of a brautiful city!

Golden age ♥️

You have done great work here, Thank You!

It still amaze me how much was done in 100 years of 19th century.

What an amazing world without cars! Well, almost without cars. Two or three cars can be seen. Those were just the beginnings. It must have been much more quiet and peaceful than nowadays. Zürich ❤

It would be amazing if you could go back there now and film the exact locations for a side by side then and now.

this channel deserve more than 100k subs

0.35 Alfred Escher's statue in front of southern entrance of Zurich Hb.

Magnifique locomotive ! 0'2) Et pas ces bagnoles envahissantes dans les rues...Très belle ville !

As a local, it's eerie how little the city has physically changed...

I live in Zurich. Seeing this was mindblowing. It literally looks almost the same now. Almost scary.

So schön gmacht! Danke🏆

Wunderschön Züri

This is amazing - very liitle has changed in a century. Most of the buildings you see are still there, perfectly well preserved. I guess that happens when you successfully avoid two world wars. Let us hope a century hence, Zürich remains as beautiful as she is today & was in the past!

*ПРЕКРАСНАЯ КРАСОТА ШВЕЙЦАРИИ* Музыка подобрана идеально Всем добра и МИРА

Amazingly, a lot still looks the same today. The city (and country) is very fortunate to have survived two world wars unharmed.

And how clean it looks like...fantasic

You just close your eyes (after having watched this) and you’re there and then 🧚‍♂️. Thank you.

OMG🤭 "Stadt Rapperswil Schiff" where still exist and where I work during every November for" Expovina Wein Schiff" in Burkiplatz.. This video is unbelievable❤️❤️❤️

La máquina del tiempo ! Esas personas son inmortales. Graciad.

There were 195 867 people living in Zürich in 1914. In June 2023, there are 445 492 people.

It looks like such a beautiful city.

素晴らしい映像をありがとうございます。貴重な映像ですね。

a very nostalgic and distortingly beautiful documentation, but be reminded that it portrays only the very wealthy population; there was a lot of poverty back then. In the second half of the 19th century Switzerland was one of the poorest countries in Europe, where thousands of Swiss citizens were forced to emigrate to North and South America (many of them were literally expelled from Switzerland by the municipalities with a one-way ticket). Dankjewel en groetjes uit Zürich! Marco

Absolutely beautiful video, thx for sharing!

Wow, was really beautiful then.

RU-vid is a time machine, im speechless!

I live there and a lot of the buildings still look like this! Funny! If you showed me a pic like this without the people or public transport I wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.

Schöne heile Welt,.... der alte Schick, toll !! Danke

So much nice video thank you 👏

Euses schöne Züri isch vom Krieg verschont worde. Sogar de Grieder isch no am glieche Ort :-) Danke für de schöni Film und Musik.

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing this gem!

Please more about Switzerland 🥰

Wenn Zeitreisen möglich wäre, würde ich 100 Jahre zurück.

she is so beautiful! love my city and it‘s gorgeous lake and rivers

One of the both ships you see at the end is still on the lake „Stadt Rappreswil“ its called. You see that a bit unsharp in the clip. Its amazing, I grew up in Zurich and am still living here.. not much changed since 1914 in the heart of the city.. wow..

Love this Videos. Im Form Siwtzerland and was there many many times and recognize so many places in wich i made memorys and can now see (and feel) how many other people made memorys there :D so thx ^^

Like that 😊 Greetings from Winterthur, Canton Zürich 😇🖐

This Channel is a time travel.👏👏👏👏

Sehr eindrücklich. Wunderschön. Vielen Dank 👍🏻

Unglaublich schoen.

Fantastic ! Thank you

Wow! Eso faszinierend! Danke für das Video! Grüessli usem Kanton Züri

Wonderful advanced culture, THIS is where 'privilege' comes from my friends. From a history of hard work and evolved minds who keep their societies clean

Background music well done: aids without distracting.

It must be a very nice country I like the video I subscribe to your friend channel

I like your vlogs to follow, lots of history.

Wow, i live in Zurich and i recognized almost everything! Most of the old buildings are still there.

You only become but a passing beautiful most treasured or one of my most treasured memory✨

I wish Zurich was still this beautiful…

Traumhaft. Vielen Dank🖤

Good evening it very nice video ♥️

Die Menschen hatten Stil.

Great music selections… again :)

the feeling you get: "Hey that looks familiar, i think i know this place.." imagine Zurich without construction site, building site and roadworks. 😄

3:15 (the boy) 4:10 (guy on the bike) "me when I see a Google Street View car"

berührend.... die Leute, die damals gelebt und gestaunt haben, sind alle schon tot..... viele Bauten sind noch da! ein ganz schöner Film mit gut gewählter Musik!

Amazing how much of the places still exist and look quite the same today. Ai did a good job colouring. But it should learn from more recent colour images of zürich, about the colours of the zürich flags and trams which can be found all over the place. If that would work the result would be even more amazing.

Sensationell 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻✅💯

I am a lot in Zürich and I must say how much it's the same, it is a beautiful video

This is actually incredible
