Description
In the once forbidden city with over 15,000 employees, foundry workers poured molten iron into molds for machines. Experts produced steam engines, large diesel engines for cargo ships, locomotives, and other machines that made Winterthur famous worldwide.
Discover with us the old industrial traces that tell of the great transformation into a residential, leisure, work, and student district. Old industrial halls recall former factory workers and engineers – today, students, families, and artists feel at home here. Cozy restaurants and a cinema invite you to linger.
