August-Forel-Strasse

August-Forel-Strasse goes from Buchenweg to Lenggstrasse. It is named after August Forel, who was a psychiatrist, neuroanatomist (including early work on neurons) and myrmecologist. His portrait was on the 1000CHF note from 1978 to 2000. He also held eugenicist and racist views, and put these views into practice during his tenure as director of the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital.

A round building with white balconies covering recessed windows.

The new building of the Kinderspital (pediatric hospital)

A narrow road with 3-storey residential buildings on the left and a wooden fence with trees on the right.

A busy picture with, from front to back, a wooden fence, a couple of greenhouses, a vertical concrete structure (probably a chimney) with red ivy growing on it, and trees.

This is PROBABLY a (defunct?) chimney from the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital, considering the placement and shape, but I haven't been able to confirm this - that thing is visible on aerial photography, but not on maps :D

The wall of a structure, completely covered in ivy (mostly green, some red), with a couple of tile roofs on top.
