Sulzer Area

Discover this vibrant new district and explore the heritage of the former industrial quarter.

Oldhough the age of large-scale industrial production has passed, the Sulzer Area has by no means fallen silent. Where steam engines and locomotives were once built, a spirit of optimism reigns. Students, designers, entrepreneurs and residents have transformed this dynamic urban space into a hub of creativity and innovation - the perfect blend of modernity and nostalgia. Even Winterthur's City Council has found a home here. 

Join us on a guided tour to experience the transformation of the Sulzer Area first hand. If you want to look behind the facades and see how this ever-evolving microcosm continues to grow and develop, while retaining its unique charm, this is the tour for you. 

Tip: During the shorter winter days, a Sulzer Area tour starting 16:30 at the latest is recommended.
