References to Zurich in Finnegans Wake

  
  
  According to Louis O. Mink's A "Finnegans Wake" Gazetteer (1978), there are some references to Zurich in Finnegans Wake:
  
  
  ZURICH.  City, capital of Z canton, Switzerland, at NW end of Lake Z, where the Limmat River (qv) issues from it; the Sihl (qv), a trib of the Limmat, is Zurich's other river.  The city is embraced on the N by the Zurichberg and on the S by the Uethibeng.   Originally a Celtic settlement, it became the Roman town Turicum (228.22).  Its patron saints are Felix, Regula, and Exuperantius; the 1st two (340.13-15, 610.08-10) introduced Christianity in the 3rd century; they represent Zurich's virtues, Prosperity and Order (Letters, I, 336).  The Swiss Reformation began in Zurich with Zwingli in 1518.
  James Joyce first came to Zurich for a week in October 1904, on his way with Nora from Paris to Tnieste; they lived in Zurich from June 1915 to October 1919 and visited it frequently, a month at a time, in the 19 30's.  Escaping from wartime France, they returned to Zurich in December 1940, and James Joyce died there on 15 January 1941 and is buried in Fluntern Cemetery.  Among James Joyce's favorite Zurich resorts were the concert hall, the Tonhalle (165.09), and the Pfauen ("Peacock") restaurant (205.29).  The main shopping street and promenade is the Bahnhofstrasse (556.25); James Joyce's poem of that name is in Pomes Penyeach.  The old town of Zurich is the Niederdorf (541.25).  Dolder (266.18) is a restaurant section and hotel, on the Zurichberg.  Milchbuck (596.01) is a Zurich quarter and site of a semi-annual fair (Bock, Messe, Ger "goat," "fair").  The main Zurich postoffice is the Sihlpost (75.04, 200.22  . Manessestrasse (?505 .24) is named for burgomaster Rudige von Manesse, who collected the first codex of minnesinger manuscripts.

  Zurich's sedately riotous festival is Sechselauten, held in April, when an effigy of the Bogg, a snowman representing Winter, is ceremonially burned in the Bellevueplatz as the bells ring out for 6 PM (032.02, 058.24, 213.18, 268.02, 327.24, 339.22, 441.33, 492.14, 508.29, 528.17, 536.11, 568.13, 600.24, 610.14).  For this together with other possible echoes of Zurich places, see Fritz Senn, "Some Zurich Allusions in FW," The Analyst XIX (1960).
