Barbara Streiff

Barbara Streiff is a long-time resident of Zurich's Niederdorf district, known for her vibrant personality and deep connection to the neighborhood's history. At seventy, she embodies the spirit of a community that is rapidly fading, offering insights into the lives of those who once thrived in an area that was once considered disreputable. A former kindergarten leader and a beloved figure in the community, Barbara has been instrumental in preserving local stories and memories, which are now being shared in a book by author Gabriela Kasperski, where she appears under the pseudonym Sira.
