About Gemeinde Küsnacht

The excellent residential location and high quality of life, combined with a low tax rate, make Küsnacht, with its almost 15,000 inhabitants, an attractive place to live and work. Over 100 clubs and a wide range of cultural and leisure activities ensure a lively village life. Sports facilities, several modern school buildings, needs-oriented old people's and health centers, and an attractive village center with a wide range of shops, restaurants, and services characterize Küsnacht. Nature lovers will find a wonderful local recreation area in the Küsnacht ravine along the village stream, at the Rumensee and Schübelweiher lakes, or on the shore of Lake Zurich. As a place to live and work, the topic of sustainability is also important: Küsnacht has been an "Energiestadt" (Energy City) since 2001 and has held the "Energiestadt Gold" label since 2010. Special attention is paid to the efficient use of energy and the promotion of renewable energy. The municipal administration is a modern employer, divided into eight departments, and it guarantees comprehensive services of a high standard, either independently or with partners. As an employer, the Küsnacht municipal administration supports its employees in further education, promotes the compatibility of private and professional life, and offers attractive employment conditions.
