  • New experience space in Bern combines culture, business and everyday life

    New experience space in Bern combines culture, business and everyday life

    After six years of renovation, the Kaiserhaus in Bern’s Marktgasse is now ready for the public. According to a press release, the building is set to become a place of encounter and learning as well as a meeting place for fashion and local trade. The opening is planned for 10 April 2026.

    The Kaiserhaus combines catering, retail and a place of learning in one. The gastronomic highlights include the Brasserie Kaiser, the Kaiser Deli and the Hof Bar. The retail spaces also serve to try out new economic, ecological and social models. In the Atelier & Manufaktur area, products are repaired or manufactured for spectators, for example. The Kiosk & Shop area is intended to provide space for pioneering brands as well as start-ups. Circular economy products will also be found here. And the Events & Pop-ups area will constantly have new offers for customers with exhibitions, workshops or a market.

    In the Moneyverse, you can learn all about the history of money and the work of the Swiss National Bank(SNB). Lectures on science, culture and business complete the educational programme. Moneyverse is an initiative of the SNB in collaboration with the Bernisches Historisches Museum. It is intended to enrich the Kaiserhaus experience.

  • A historical heritage in new splendour

    A historical heritage in new splendour

    in 1896, Richard Theiler laid the foundation stone for the Electrotechnical Institute, which later became world-famous as Landis Gyr, with the construction of the Theilerhaus. The importance of the Theilerhaus for the people of Zug cannot be denied and its preservation became a priority in 1989 when the Canton of Zug acquired the site in order to preserve it for future generations.

    Preservation of historical substance
    The Canton of Zug has developed a comprehensive concept entitled “The Theilerhaus and its spirit”. This outline of ideas aims to preserve the “spirit” of the buildings and to bring together aspects of economy, technology, architecture and culture in a holistic framework.

    Refurbishment in keeping with the heritage
    The maintenance measures extend to all existing old buildings, focussing on earthquake safety, fire protection and accessibility. The renewal of windows, sun protection and roof cladding as well as the insulation of the Shedhalle are important steps towards meeting the requirements. The new building in the eastern area respects the historical substance and creates an appealing overall urban structure.

    A new urban accent
    The planned new building complements the urban ensemble and consists of a five-storey head building and a four-storey intermediate building. This design, which is connected to the high-rise building by a modern stair tower, blends harmoniously into the existing surroundings and strengthens the identity of the site.

    The Shedhalle as a cultural, creative space
    Once the renovation work has been completed, the Shedhalle will not only function as a place of remembrance of the past, but also as a lively space for cultural and artistic events. This use offers added value for the people of Zug and emphasises the versatility of the site and its relevance in today’s world.

    Forward-looking project
    Overall, this project represents a significant step in the urban development of the Canton of Zug and should benefit future generations. The planned measures emphasise how important it is to view historical heritage as part of a living, constantly evolving society and to shape it accordingly.
