Mettmenstetten (Swiss German: Mäpmischtette[3][4]) is a village in the district of Affoltern in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

Additionally, people used to overnight at Mettmenstetten when they were traveling between Zurich and Luzern, as this town is about in the middle of the route.

In 1525 it is reported that the evangelical, Protestant parishioners of Mettmenstetten chased their new minister out of the village by throwing stones at him after hearing his first sermon.

[7] In August and September 1899 Albert Einstein, then a student at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich, spent a summer holiday at the Paradies, then a hotel, on the hill above the village.

His occupations during this time included a walking tour in the direction of Einsiedeln and the upper part of Lake Zurich, as well as the study of "electric force".

Of the rest of the land, 13.1% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.1%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

They also fly at a lower altitude than the official recommended height of 300 meters (for populated areas).

This increases the noise pollution levels [17] for the inhabitants of Mettmenstetten and the surrounding villages, leading them to take action.
