Dübendorf

Dübendorf is a municipality in the district of Uster in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland, and a suburb of the city of Zürich about ten kilometres to its north east. It is the fourth largest city in the canton after Zürich, Winterthur and Uster. The settlement was first mentioned in 946 as Tuobilindorf and in the eighth century the village and its church were probably already held by the Reichenau Abbey on Lake Constance, which stayed the main landowner for a long time. Dübendorf covers 13.6 square kilometres in the Glatt Valley, where the Glatt river runs out of the Greifensee, and the ruins of the Dübelstein castle stand on the Adlisberg.
