Paracelsus in 1527 visited Zürich at this site, the Hotel zum Storchen (Hotel of the Stork). The hotel stands on the river Limmat (to the left, just out of view). During Paracelsus' visit in Zürich, Frobenius of Basel (whom Paracelsus had successfully treated) died, which was a blow against the prestige of Paracelsus.
