Limmatquai

This guide to Limmatquai in Zurich returns to the afternoon of January 5th, 1527, when a boat carrying Felix Manz was rowed out into the cold current right at this spot, his hands bound for the crime of baptizing adults who asked for it. You'll hear how Manz, once a student of Hebrew and Greek alongside the reformer Huldrych Zwingli, ended up on the wrong side of a council edict over a single theological question, and how his own mother came to stand on this bank. A plaque nearby marks the place where he was not the only one led to the water.
