Craftsmen, merchants and rascals
Development of Winterthur's economic life from Roman times to the present day
Where the Eulach water powered mills in Habsburg times, later craftsmen produced clocks and ovens with great skill and expertise. Finally, in the 19th century, innovative Winterthur residents built up powerful industrial companies that made the town internationally famous. Today, the large machines have been decommissioned.
Modern tech industries shape the city's economy. Join us on a journey back in time through Winterthur's economic life! On this fascinating tour, you will experience at first hand how the city and its inhabitants have adapted to the rapid developments.
"The city guide was competent, flexible, simply great! Thank you!" - S. Straub
