Saft owned the flagship hotel in the spa town of Baden, the “Grand Hotel”, situated at the bend of the Limmat River. His purchase of this land was a turning point in the city’s history. The Grand Hotel was also one of the first hotels in Switzerland to have electric lighting. The city of Baden has a long tradition as an energy city: exactly 125 years ago, Charles Brown and Walter Boveri founded ABB, formerly known as BBC. Their first contract was to build generators for the municipal electricity plant founded the same year, which is today the “Regionalwerke” (regional power plant). Both companies have shaped Baden as an industrial location and laid the foundation for its economic prosperity. On behalf of the city council, I would like to congratulate both companies on their anniversary and thank them for our excellent cooperation. Today, access to energy is something we take for granted. We switch on the light, electricity comes out of the socket, and there is an endless flow of water. The spotlights in the theatre let the performers shine. We feel a tingling sensation during the first bass tones at a rock concert, colourful strings of lights around the garden pubs announce the arrival of balmy summer evenings, and we are enchanted by the Christmas lights in Switzerland. Energy is life. And Baden is full of it. We feel healthy and happy when we are charged with energy. A stroll along the Limmat, floating down the river on warm summer days, luxuriating in the lull of the bubbling 47 degree warm thermal water or even drinking a cup of the waters. Getting a dose of fresh air in the nearby forest, enjoying the miles of open countryside way up high on the Stein Castle ruins or from one of the lookout points. Find your own personal energy spot, maybe in the Tüfels Chäller nature reserve, on a bench in the park, drinking coffee in the city centre or in a short chat with Saint Verena. Who knows what sort of miracles she has in store for us today. My personal energy tip: let the people of Baden invigorate you with their vitality. Since 2006, the label “Energy City” has also had another, future-oriented meaning: it acknowledges cities with a consistent energy policy, making Baden one of the leading municipalities in Switzerland. We are currently working on adding an energy management plan and an energy strategy to our energy guidelines. We are proud to announce that we have even been awarded the Gold Label for this process. One of our top priorities is to also be able to uphold this philosophy in the future and take other steps to ensure conscientious and eco-friendly energy generation and use. Baden isn’t just a city with economic energy; its people are also full of energy. It is the inhabitants of Baden who have made the city an important industrial location and an award-winning energy city. Something that I feel time and again is the energy that drives the city’s ongoing progress and development at all levels. Be it in negotiations about the Schulhausplatz, meetings about classroom planning or simply personal contact with the local community. This energy makes the city a true energy city.

The Heisser Stein thermal spring, one of 18 thermal springs in the Baden area, supplies warm water to the foot bath via an old underground wooden pipeline that flows freely with no need of a pump. Thanks to the natural soothing warmth of the water, the Thermalbank offers bathing fun day and night, all year long. The foot bath is located in the spa district on the Limmat promenade near the Inhalatorium, with a view of the River Limmat. A comfortable, signposted 10-minute walk leads from the railway station to the Thermalbank. There, visitors can read interesting details on information boards about the qualities and special characteristics of Baden’s thermal water. The Thermalbank was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Raiffeisenbank Lägern-Baregg. Find more information about the Thermalbank at: www.baden.ch/thermalbank Chänzeli Lookout Point Tour A panoramic city hike Extensive walking routes, known as “terrain cures”, were part of the established therapy in Baden’s bathing culture as far back as the Belle Époque (at the turn of the 19th century). The goal of this “therapeutic hiking” was to strengthen the heart, circulatory system and muscles. The “Chänzelis”, or lookout points, on the hills of the Klus gorge were popular excursion destinations back then, and rewarded the exertions of guests seeking a cure with diverse nature, fresh air and gorgeous views. Today, the Chänzeli Tour is an unforgettable panoramic city hike around Baden. With over 1,300 steps along the way, the highs and lows in the city of Baden’s Klus gorge can be handled with ease. Chänzeli Tour participants will 20 Info Guide 2016 experience fantastic views of the city of Baden and impressive encounters with nature – contrasts at every step of the way. The panoramic city hike is marked with white signposts all along the route. During the Chänzeli Tour you can truly sense Baden’s diversity. On the one side of the Klus gorge, the Wettinger Schartenfels towers above you, while across from it the Stein Castle ruins loom majestically on Baden’s Schlossberg mountain, and the river Limmat flows between them both. Anyone who has stood on one of the four lookout points soon realises that the spectacular panorama of the city and region owes its existence to the river Limmat. Over millennia the river has created the imposing height differences. On the Chänzeli Tour you will receive impressions of the different neighbourhoods in the city of Baden: the spa district, for example, which displays a great cultural-historical significance, or the Old Town where you feel like you have been transported back to the Middle Ages as you follow the winding, narrow streets from the city tower and explore their many cafés and small shops. There is also Baden Nord, an area of pulsating interaction where culture, residential areas and modern office buildings by famous architects lie side-by-side with restored relics from the past industrial age. All of this and more can be discovered on the Chänzeli Tour – the panoramic city hike. Find more information about the Chänzeli Lookout Point Tour at: www.baden.ch/chaenzeli Audio guide With the audio guide “Ohren auf – Natur erzählt” (Prick up your ears – listen to nature), the city of Baden offers an innovative tour on the theme of “Man and the environment”.

Ugo Rondinone puts on international exhibitions and his work was presented in Aargau for the first time during his solo exhibition at the Aargaurer Kunsthaus Aarau in 2010. It is something wonderful and not to be taken for granted when private investors initiate, finance and hold competitions for art. Ugo Rondinone convinced the jury right from the outset 42 Info Guide 2016 with his concept. As an international artist exhibiting in Baden, his presence is a definite enrichment for the city.

Wiesenstrasse 32, CH-5400 Baden Phone +41 (0)56 203 43 28 mediothek@bbbaden.ch Merker-Areal premises In the distinctive “Yellow Square”, where washing machines and household appliances were once manufactured, an attractive and centrally-located working and residential district has emerged. Instead of tearing down old factory halls and replacing them with new buildings, the original industrial structure – with historical and cultural value for the city – was preserved. Today, around 80 tenants from diverse sectors use the former factory premises as their professional base. The Merker-Areal has developed into an urban microcosm, a centre for architecture, art, communication and services. Various cultural institutions are represented here, including the Figura Theatre Festival and the Fantoche International Animation Film Festival, which have helped turn the Merker-Areal into a festival hotspot. The former dispatch building in the centre is now the unique restaurant “Speditionsgebäude” featuring a bright hall for events on the first floor. The Stanzerei provides a further exceptional cultural venue on the premises. The spacious area of the inner courtyard of the “Yellow Square” was covered with a colourful “woven carpet” created by artist Beat Zoderer, AZ-award winner 2009, breathing fresh life into the courtyard. Alte Schmiede/Werkkk Kulturlokal Baden Free space for thinking and making a difference for the entire population With its combination of a cultural youth centre with a restaurant, an event arena with an outside room, band rehearsal rooms and an atelier, the city of Baden is beginning a new chapter in the history of youth work and cultural advancement. On the one hand, a new meeting place has been created by bringing the Werkk and its bar to life. On the other hand, the hall space of the old blacksmith’s forge offers a unique industrial ambience: with its design and shape, it is a one-of-a-kind location for Baden, the region and beyond which can be used to make creative ideas and projects a reality. Schmiedstrasse 1, CH-5400 Baden Phone +41 (0)56 221 65 50 www.werkk-baden.ch Braun – Design Collections As a follow-up to the “Bauhaus” style, appliance manufacturer Braun revolutionised industrial products in the 1950s. Regardless of which utilitarian object is involved, the Braun company was behind the simple, self-explanatory design. Prof. Dieter Rams, head designer, had this to say: “My goal is to remove anything superfluous so that the essential comes to the forefront.” This was reason enough for Joan and Rolf Billing to gather all these objects together and make them accessible to the public.

As early as 1415, the diplomats of the Old Confederacy met here to negotiate. However, the focus was not only on business – the pleasurable things in life were equally important. The diplomats ate, celebrated and of course bathed with the greatest of pleasure in the Baden thermal springs. During this time, they discussed, debated, laughed and made decisions. The beautiful and historic “Tagsatzungssaal” (legislative chamber) is one of the silent witnesses of the past. Thanks to its outstanding location and modern infrastructure, Baden remains an ideal location for congresses, conferences and seminars in the Zurich area. The city on the Limmat also offers a wealth of entertainment and culture, a unique landscape, many sporting and shopping opportunities and a wide range of restaurants – everything you could possibly wish for.

Accessible from Zurich in only 16 minutes by rail and 3 minutes on foot, the Trafo Baden centre is a great venue for medium-sized and large companies and a success factor for your events. Just as consumers are becoming increasingly demanding, so conference participants expect a wider range of services. Alongside input in the form of talks and presentations, face-to-face meetings are once again becoming ever more important. The individual programme points change as required since cinema presentations, group work, voting by SMS, top-class buffet lunches and good personal exchanges are all part of the successful conference of the future. All this is possible under a single roof at the Trafo Baden centre. Companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Raiffeisen Bank hold large-scale events here. They appreciate the state-of-theart infrastructure, flexibility, unique design and good links to the airport, rail system and motorway. The Trafo centre is also highly praised for the quality of dishes served, which are prepared in house, and for the cordiality of the team. In 2015, Baden’s Trafo centre hosted 230 events with an average of 250 and a total of 64,535 guests. Trough the new construction project with a hotel, restaurant and apartments, which was put into operation in December 2014, represents a further milestone in the history of the Trafo Baden centre. Looking for a hotel? Are you planning a seminar, congress or event and require accommodations for your participants and guests? Info Baden is happy to provide advice and assistance.
