History
Like in all other villages along the lake of Zürich, archeological findings indicate settlements in the stone ages. The original settlement dates from the 7th or 8th century; the name Mannidorf ("Village of Manno", a personal name, possibly of a nobleman) is mentioned in 933. The village originally housed fishermen, farmers and winegrowers. Männedorf was once owned by the monastery of Pfäfers. It later developed to become the home of the bailiwick of Zürich from 1405 until 1798. After the opening of the Lake Zurich right bank railway from Zürich to Rapperswil in 1894 the village blossomed. Many businesses of handicraft, trade and industry were established. Most notably probably a tannery, organ-building and precision mechanics. There was also a mill, a smithy, a public bath and a growing number of guesthouses. By today Männedorf has become part of the Zürich agglomeration like all the villages in the region.
