Thalwil is a municipality in the district of Horgen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. As of 2010 its population was of 17,189.
Thalwil is first mentioned around 1030 as Talwile villam, which is derived from Tellewilare, Tello's Farm, and indicates the early medieval origins of Thalwil as an Alemannic farmstead. Only a few graves remain from this period. In 1133 it was mentioned as Telwil.
The parish of Thalwil originally comprised four Wachten (hamlets):
In medieval times, the economy consisted mainly of farms, vineyards as well as a small amount of fishing, crafts and shipping (on the lake). This estate was once owned by the Dukes of Habsburg and held by the Barons of Eschenbach. The Abbeys of Muri and Wettingen also had significant interests and owned 12 and 3 farms respectively.
Thalwil also boasts the oldest wood corporation in the Canton of Zurich, the Bannegg-Waldung. It was first mentioned in 1483, when Muri Abbey granted it to the twelve beneficiaries of the Abbey farms in Thalwil. Today the corporation is owned by 16 members as well as by the Thalwil Gemeinde.
Like the Son has yet to see,
Master always tells tales,
Of how the world relates to you.
It was just a thought that you would be conceived,
Just a fresh start from your mother's womb,
A theory that fools desperation,
I'm desperate for this relation,
I will try to shake this on my own.
Brave, I'm feeling up to par,
Reborn from a fresh start,
Just like this family blood is richer than water,
It is soiled with concern,
But given this circumstance,
It's just my last chance to swallow.
Like the Son has yet to see,
Master will forever tell tales,
Oh, I insist upon relativity to condemn it's master,
As this master has condemned me.
Brave, I'm feeling up to par,
Reborn from a fresh start,
Just like this family blood is richer than water,
It is soiled with concern,
But given this circumstance,
It's just my last chance to swallow.
Oh, little child, what do I mean to you?
I'll conceal this tale with no breathing room.
Oh, little child, what do I mean to you?
I'll conceal this tale with no breathing room.
Brave, I'm feeling up to par,
Reborn from a fresh start,
Just like this family blood is richer than water,
It is soiled with concern,
But given this circumstance,
It's just my last chance to swallow.
