Feuerthalen

Feuerthalen is a municipality in the district of Andelfingen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

Of the rest of the land, 38.6% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (1.6%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

[4] It is located on the left bank of the Rhine and provided the bridgehead on that side of the river for the city of Schaffhausen.

It includes the village of Langwiesen which in turn shares an international border with the municipality of Büsingen am Hochrhein which is an exclave of Germany, entirely surrounded by Swiss territory.

Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (91.2%), with Italian being second most common ( 3.0%) and Albanian being third ( 1.3%).
