    Ground-breaking ceremony heralds Theilerhaus transformation

    The Theilerhaus, originally built in 1896 by Richard Theiler, an accomplished watchmaker, and the entrepreneur Adelrich Gyr as the site of their “Electrotechnisches Institut Theiler und Cie”, played a central role in Zug’s industrial development. Over the years, the building underwent several changes of ownership and served as the nucleus for Landis & Gyr’s rise to become a globally recognised technology group. The takeover of the site by the Canton of Zug in 1989 paved the way for today’s reorganisation.

    A modern justice and catering facility
    The ground floor of the Theilerhaus will house a restaurant, which will not only serve as a neighbourhood meeting place, but also provide catering facilities for cantonal employees. The upper floors will be given a new purpose as the seat of the administrative court, with a courtroom on the third floor and the former panelled director’s room on the second floor, which will regain its significance through the use of the presiding judge.

    Integration and appreciation of the historical heritage
    The redesign of the Theilerhaus is the result of an intensive dialogue with the conservation authorities and aims to preserve the historical substance and architectural identity of the building. The project was carefully planned by the consortium CST Architekten AG and Eggenspieler Architekten AG, both based in Zug, to ensure that the Theilerhaus remains a living testimony to local industrial history and a valuable cultural asset for the people of Zug.

  • Forum develops scenarios for the Papierwerd area

    Forum develops scenarios for the Papierwerd area

    The Paperwerd Forum was launched on April 11 under the direction of the Office for Urban Development. Here, 55 experts from various disciplines, representatives of politics, clubs, organizations and associations as well as the residents are to work out “the basics for the future of the Papierwerd area”, writes the building department of the city of Zurich in a statement . “We would like to have a broad debate with the interest groups and the population about the possible scenarios for the Papierwerd area,” Corine Mauch, Mayor of Zurich, is quoted there as saying. The scenarios range from preservation to partial preservation and demolition to new construction.

    The results of the dialogue process should form the basis for the city council’s strategy for the development of the area. The handling of the provisional globe will also be discussed, according to the statement. “Even if the Globus provisional is not listed as a historic monument, the building is definitely relevant in terms of architecture, urban planning and social history,” André Odermatt, head of the building department, is quoted as saying.

    The Papierwerd area is part of the area around the main station and the Central. For this, the civil engineering office creates a master plan as a superordinate consideration. Richard Wolff, Head of the Civil Engineering and Waste Management Department, explains that it will be “incorporated into the strategic process for the Papierwerd site”, but will not anticipate it.
