Stauffacher is an important nodal station of the Zurich tram network. It is located in the Aussersihl district of the city of Zurich, Switzerland, next to the St. Jakob church. It is situated along the Badenerstrasse, between Bäckerstrasse and Stauffacherstrasse. The tram stop was named after the latter street, which itself had been named for Werner Stauffacher in 1893.
Stauffacher is officially just the name of the tram stop, not the square itself. There was formerly a Stauffacherplatz some 200 m (660 ft) farther along the street towards the Sihl, named in 1898. Since the name of the tram stop induced common usage to associate Stauffacherplatz with the tram stop, leading to confusion with the actual Stauffacherplatz, the latter was renamed to Ernst-Nobs-Platz in 2003.
