<strong>Baden</strong>’s thermal springs<br />

In 2013, <strong>Baden</strong> will give centre<br />

stage to the city’s thermal waters<br />

and their springs. <strong>Baden</strong>’s<br />

source of warm well-being<br />

bursts forth from some twenty<br />

thermal springs which – as our<br />

city mayor so aptly phrases it in<br />

his welcome message – have been attracting visitors from<br />

near and far for more than 2,000 years.<br />

Temporarily without a large thermal bath, it is currently<br />

possible to convince yourself of the beneficial effects in<br />

the modern smaller baths of <strong>Baden</strong>’s spa district. Read<br />

more on this subject in the “Wellness” section.<br />

However, <strong>Baden</strong> is much more than just a health resort.<br />

Our dynamic city on the River Limmat is also a source of<br />

inspiration, creativity, vitality and exuberance. The welltended<br />

parks, easily accessible local recreation areas,<br />

virtually inexhaustible abundance of leisure options and<br />

multi-faceted cultural scene are just a few examples.<br />

The terms “source” and “spring” both indicate origin, in<br />

other words, the point to which something can be traced<br />

and from which something emanates. The source and<br />

thus the origin of the city’s propensity for development lies<br />

in the hearts and heads of the people of <strong>Baden</strong>. The numerous<br />

far-sighted individuals who have shaped <strong>Baden</strong>’s<br />

development from time immemorial are proof of this statement.<br />

The new city tour “<strong>Baden</strong>’s Brilliant Minds” offered<br />

by Info <strong>Baden</strong> provides an opportunity to get to know some<br />

of them better (see the “Worth Seeing” section).<br />

I hope that this Info Guide provides a source of knowledge<br />

and leisure planning ideas for you. I wish you enjoyable<br />

reading!<br />

Stefanie Becherer-Eilsberger, Head of Info <strong>Baden</strong><br />

47 °C (116.6 °F) for millennia<br />

The city of <strong>Baden</strong> owes its name<br />

to its hot thermal springs. The<br />

Romans used the thermal springs<br />

in their time here; the children of<br />

<strong>Baden</strong> learn this fact at an early<br />

stage in school. They were a place<br />

of recuperation and healing for<br />

the soldiers of the Vindonissa military camp, now known<br />

as Windisch. Aquae Helveticae – this is also <strong>Baden</strong> school<br />

knowledge – was the name of the resort on the bend in the<br />

River Limmat 2,000 years ago.<br />

<strong>Baden</strong> is justly proud of its long tradition as a city of thermal<br />

baths. Although written sources regarding bathing practices<br />

petered out after the Romans withdrew from Helvetia, we now<br />

know that the thermal springs were never totally forgotten<br />

over the centuries. People passed on knowledge of the<br />

healing and beneficial effects of <strong>Baden</strong>’s thermal waters from<br />

generation to generation – orally and then again in written<br />

form – right up to current times.<br />

When as now the city of <strong>Baden</strong> and the baths operators<br />

completely refurbish the bathing facilities 2,000 years after<br />

the Romans, this represents the continuation of a long<br />

tradition. <strong>Baden</strong>’s baths have continually been adapted to suit<br />

new conditions, new findings and also new fashions. The<br />

unique nature and quality of the waters from around twenty<br />

thermal springs have remained constant. We bear the<br />

responsibility of continuing to ensure this.<br />

I invite you to convince yourself of the effectiveness of the<br />

waters. Make use of one of the offers and experience the<br />

thermal waters.<br />

Stephan Attiger, Mayor of <strong>Baden</strong><br />

“One Of A Million” Music Festival <strong>Baden</strong><br />

1 – 9 February 2013, www.ooam.ch<br />

Word has spread rapidly that a special festival is in the<br />

making in the city of thermal baths. Artists from near and<br />

far perform on different stages throughout the city for an<br />

Summer guest 2013: Ursula Palla<br />

Exhibition “The Fifth Season”<br />

Videos and installations<br />

19 April – 30 November 2013, Museum Langmatt,<br />

www.langmatt.ch / www.ursulapalla.ch<br />

In her works, Swiss video artist Ursula Palla addresses the<br />

contrast between naturalness and artificiality and<br />

constructs seemingly natural worlds using artificial means.<br />

Her image worlds are ambiguous and often foreshadow an<br />

underlying reverberation of concealed threat. The works<br />

which were intended for Villa Langmatt respond to the<br />

interiors of the villa of the Brown industrialist family and<br />

make reference to the themes of nature and technology.<br />

The American<br />

1 May – 3 June 2013, www.theamerican.ch<br />

He announces his arrival by telephone. Nobody knows<br />

him, and yet it is as if everybody had been waiting for him.<br />

He is personable, nice, good looking: The American.<br />

Then he calls saying he has to move on. Nobody knows<br />

where to. He leaves behind him a feeling of freedom, new<br />

ideas, a smile, perhaps a tear. No, he hasn’t performed<br />

any miracles, yet new paths have opened up, the dourness<br />

of daily routine has given way to hope for a new future.<br />

Melnitz<br />

19 October 2013, Premiere at the Kurtheater <strong>Baden</strong><br />

(additional performances 22 – 27 October),<br />

www.kurtheater.ch<br />

The 2006 novel “Melnitz” by Charles Lewinski is a highly<br />

respected and widely read book. Lewinski tells the story of<br />

the Meijer family, a Jewish family from Endingen whose<br />

life changes radically after the death of their uncle Melnitz.<br />

The novel “Melnitz” as the portrait of a small village<br />

becomes a reflection of the big wide world. The location in<br />

the city and region of <strong>Baden</strong> and in Switzerland gave<br />

Walter Küng the idea of creating a stage version from this<br />

material. And so now Melnitz, Janki Meijer, Chanele and<br />

many other characters from the novel are set to bring the<br />

stage of the Kurtheater <strong>Baden</strong> to life and to tell their<br />

Jewish and self-mocking stories to the audience.<br />

wine for adults.<br />

The film about <strong>Baden</strong> –<br />

an unusual city portrait<br />

“Verliebt in <strong>Baden</strong>” (“In love with <strong>Baden</strong>”) is an innovative<br />

film project by, with and about the people of <strong>Baden</strong>. The<br />

project, which was initiated in 2011, has generated a film<br />

history of around 20 minutes duration portraying the city<br />

of <strong>Baden</strong>. It will be released in spring 2013. The website<br />

www.verliebtinbaden.ch shows the current status of the<br />

project, provides supplementary information on the<br />

participants, the making of the film, as well as offering<br />

feedback facilities for everyone. Thanks to this multimedia<br />

alignment, new stories and themes can be uploaded on<br />

the website on an ongoing basis and later integrated in a<br />

film release. As the city changes, the film will also change<br />

over time.<br />

As a result, conference participants, leisure guests,<br />

employees being introduced to the location and interested<br />

members of the population have the opportunity to form a<br />

picture of the especially lively character of this small city<br />

with the aid of a deliberately entertaining cinematographic<br />

work from refreshingly subjective perspectives. The film<br />

provides a multi-faceted insight into <strong>Baden</strong> and allows<br />

those watching it to immerse themselves in emotional<br />

moments from the lives of the participants.<br />

The project is conceived and implemented by Avista AG in<br />

Busslingen. The exacting task of producing the film was<br />

made possible by the generous support of various<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>-based companies. The city of <strong>Baden</strong> has assumed<br />

the patronage of this unusual portrait.<br />

NatUrwald Garden<br />

Busy and stressed-out city dwellers are often far removed<br />

from nature. The virtual NatUrwald Garden offers them the<br />

chance to rediscover the natural world from the comfort of<br />

their homes. The website demonstrates how diverse, unique<br />

and fascinating <strong>Baden</strong>’s NatUrwald Garden is. To enable<br />

users to experience the natural environment not only<br />

virtually but also physically on short walks, the site<br />

features seasonal tips for excursions, which are easy to<br />

find using map excerpts. The age-old connection between<br />

humans and nature will be experienced anew. Urbanites<br />

will realise that nature happens outdoors, and not on their<br />

computers, thus increasing their awareness of nature and<br />

enabling them to recognise the way the various aspects of<br />

nature are interconnected. Brochures are available from<br />

Museums<br />

<strong>Baden</strong> Museum of History<br />

The <strong>Baden</strong> Museum of History is dedicated to the history<br />

of the city and region of <strong>Baden</strong>.<br />

In the museum’s striking new building, a ramp transports<br />

visitors back to the past and into a large riverside space, in<br />

which important finds from Roman times, city models,<br />

photographs and many other documents and objects<br />

illustrate the history of <strong>Baden</strong>’s baths and industry.<br />

Twenty-two drawer-style exhibits invite visitors to explore<br />

the life of <strong>Baden</strong>’s men, women and children. In the<br />

historic rooms of the Landvogteischloss (bailiff’s castle),<br />

the displays focus on <strong>Baden</strong> during the time of the Old<br />

Confederation as the well-established location of<br />

significant political meetings, as well as the centre of<br />

activity for the ruling classes and their relationships with<br />

their subjects. <strong>Baden</strong>’s transformation into a bourgeois<br />

society, Jewish emancipation in the 19th century and<br />

typical lifestyles in a small city of the 1930s are also<br />

presented. A collection of archaeological studies reveals<br />

the history of early settlements. True-to-life special<br />

exhibitions shed light on transformations taking place in<br />

the environment and society, and concentrate on everyday<br />

life and the history of the city.<br />

The museum offers guided tours and workshops for<br />

schools and groups (see pages 12, 13), organises family<br />

events, and rents out its rooms for aperitifs, events and<br />

seminars.<br />

Kunstraum <strong>Baden</strong> (<strong>Baden</strong> Art Gallery)<br />

The Kunstraum <strong>Baden</strong> is a public institution located just a<br />

minute away on foot from the <strong>Baden</strong> West railway station.<br />

It is housed in a former workshop in a listed heritage<br />

building. As a forum for modern art, the Kunstraum <strong>Baden</strong><br />

offers a platform for current positions in contemporary art.<br />

The focus is primarily on artists from Switzerland. The<br />

Kunstraum wants to use its exhibitions to raise issues that<br />

extend beyond the borders of art and touch on social and<br />

philosophical matters. Also, the city of <strong>Baden</strong> has<br />

contracted the Kunstraum <strong>Baden</strong> to document and<br />

connect the artists living in the <strong>Baden</strong> region using its own<br />

documentation point. A diverse supporting programme<br />

with tours, discussions with artists and workshops<br />

accompanies these confrontations with art. The KUBIK art<br />

education events were developed especially for children<br />

and youth.<br />

Free admission. The space can also be hired for events<br />

Nateschwara Theater<br />

The unique Indian cultural stage.<br />

The Nateschwara Theater was brought into being by Vijaya<br />

Rao in 1997 as a platform for the Nateschwara Dance<br />

Company. As Europe’s first theatre for classic Indian dance<br />

and Indian music, it showcases up-and-coming artists as<br />

well as familiar faces on the local and international Indian


dance and music scene. Original productions by Vijaya<br />

Rao feature most prominently on the playbill. Since its<br />

founding in 1993, the Nateschwara Dance Company has<br />

made a name for itself in India and far beyond Switzerland<br />

as a unique, traditional and authentic Bharata Natyam<br />

dance group. The Nateschwara Theater ranks among the<br />

leading locations for living Indian art and culture in Europe.<br />

It offers seating for more than 90 people in a stimulating<br />

atmos phere. Many performances include an Indian dinner<br />

beforehand, prepared in the theatre’s own kitchen.<br />

Remise Theatre 5406<br />

The theatre in Rütihof started its first season with a<br />

magnificent in-house production in 1991. Significantly, the<br />

play was called “Uf em eigne Mischt gwachse” (“Home-<br />

grown in your backyard”). The former barn was converted<br />

into a magical theatre with a unique atmosphere by<br />

proactive villagers. The smell of manure has given way to<br />

a red velvet curtain. Performances by professional artists<br />

on the stage are financed by in-house productions. The<br />

summer theatre has become a great success.<br />

The motto of the cultural venue is: Good theatre on your<br />

doorstep.<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>er Maske<br />

This amateur theatre was founded in 1945 by five students<br />

in order to breathe fresh life into the city’s theatre scene.<br />

Since then, more than 80 productions have been created<br />

and performed on the <strong>Baden</strong>er Maske’s hallmark stage,<br />

known as the “Thespians’ cart.” Traditionally, productions<br />

are performed on this rolling stage in eastern Switzerland<br />

between the beginning of August and mid-September<br />

every two years, followed by performances in front of loyal<br />

audiences in about 15 locations in the canton of Aargau.<br />

Junges Theater <strong>Baden</strong><br />

The Junges Theater <strong>Baden</strong> (Young Theatre <strong>Baden</strong>) has<br />

specialised in walking theatre since 2003. A short<br />

tour helps the audience get in the right mood for the<br />

performance to follow. The scenes and images have no<br />

recognisable plot at this point. Next, set pieces from the<br />

section to follow as well as individual characters are<br />

introduced. Architectural elements are purposefully<br />

incorporated into the piece, and the entire surroundings<br />

become an extended part of the set. The ensemble is<br />

deliberately composed of a mixture of newcomers,<br />

experienced performers and trained drama teachers.<br />

The team, with anywhere from 13 to 65 years of life<br />

experience, works hard both onstage and behind the<br />

scenes, displaying great enthusiasm and commitment.<br />

Trafohalle<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>’s official town hall is reminiscent of its earlier<br />

role in the city’s industrial past. Where high-voltage<br />

experiments were conducted thirty years ago, a space<br />

with unique sound quality and an atmospheric urban<br />

interior has been created in the up-and-coming <strong>Baden</strong><br />

Nord district. The modern infrastructure and excellent<br />

acoustics provide optimum conditions for classical, world<br />

music, Afro-American music and country music events.<br />

The Convention Center Trafo <strong>Baden</strong>’s cultural programme<br />

is further enhanced by dance events and theatre performances.<br />

The Trafo is also used daily as a seminar and<br />

event location.<br />

Merker-Areal<br />

Merker-Areal premises<br />

In the distinctive “Yellow Square,” where washing<br />

machines and household appliances were once<br />

manufactured, an attractive and centrally-located working<br />

and residential district has emerged. Instead of tearing<br />

down old factory halls and replacing them with new<br />

buildings, the original industrial structure – with historical<br />

and cultural value for the city – was preserved.<br />

Today, around 80 tenants from diverse sectors use the<br />

former factory premises as their professional base. The<br />

Merker-Areal has developed into an urban microcosm, a<br />

centre for architecture, art, communication and services.<br />

Various cultural institutions are represented here, including<br />

the Figura Theatre Festival and the Fantoche International<br />

Animation Film Festival, which have helped turned the<br />

Merker-Areal into a festival hotspot.<br />

The former dispatch building in the centre is now the<br />

unique Speditionsgebäude restaurant, with a bright hall<br />

for events on the first floor. The Stanzerei provides a<br />

further exceptional cultural venue on the premises.<br />

The spacious area of the inner courtyard of the “Yellow<br />

Square” was covered with a colourful “woven carpet”<br />

created by artist Beat Zoderer, AZ-award winner 2009,<br />

breathing fresh life into the courtyard.<br />

Merkker Kulturlokal <strong>Baden</strong><br />

Merkker – bar, restaurant & culture – is a cultural centre<br />

supported by the Youth Work department of the city of<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>. Concerts and parties here range from pop, punk,<br />

rock, indie, and singer-songwriter to funk, world music,<br />

hip-hop, reggae, dancehall and electro. Individual<br />

readings, theatre productions and exhibitions also<br />

supplement the programme at Merkker. The pub offers<br />

reasonable and delicious meals at noon.<br />

From May to September, the Merkker team also operates<br />

Triebguet, a lush open-air bar directly on the river Limmat.<br />

Braun – Design Collections<br />

As a follow-up to the “Bauhaus” style, appliance<br />

manufacturer Braun revolutionised industrial products<br />

in the 1950s. Regardless of which utilitarian object is<br />

involved, the Braun company was behind the simple,<br />

self-explanatory design. Prof. Dieter Rams, head designer,<br />

had this to say: “My goal is to remove anything superfluous<br />

so that the essential comes to the forefront.” This was<br />

reason enough for Joan and Rolf Billing to gather all these<br />

objects together and make them accessible to the public.<br />

charm can be used for all types of events – from concerts,<br />

theatre productions, exhibitions, private parties and<br />

company get-togethers, to small, select gatherings, large,<br />

extravagant bashes, experimental and daring affairs, and<br />

established, conventional galas. We create culture.<br />

Grand Casino <strong>Baden</strong><br />

The Grand Casino <strong>Baden</strong> invites guests to enjoy truly<br />

exceptional entertainment. With its first-class range of<br />

offers and unrivalled service, it has gained a pole position<br />

in the European casino landscape within a short period of<br />

time. Guests are offered exciting gaming, excellent cuisine,<br />

memorable events and parties in the exclusive ambience<br />

of the “House of Entertainment” – 365 days of the year.<br />

Since the end of November 2012, the Grand Casino <strong>Baden</strong><br />

also features a unique full-dome cupola (casino dome)<br />

which enthrals visitors with multimedia shows. In addition,<br />

a recently installed elevator linking the two gaming floors<br />

to each other provides further amenities.<br />

Faites vos jeux<br />

Guests at the 21 tables experience crackling suspense<br />

during various games in the Grand Jeu. The range of<br />

casino classics on offer includes not only blackjack and<br />

roulette but poker as well. The Grand Casino <strong>Baden</strong> is<br />

already justifiably regarded as being Switzerland’s Poker<br />

Mecca as it offers the nation’s largest cash game range<br />

and arranges over 400 tournaments a year. The Swiss<br />

Poker Champions Week with several hundred participants<br />

represents the highlight. Gaming enjoyment at the Grand<br />

Casino <strong>Baden</strong> is supplemented by the equally popular<br />

“one-armed bandits” with over 315 modern slot machines<br />

with different games providing pure entertainment. What’s<br />

more, five jackpots ensure suspense of the highest order,<br />

including the gold jackpot which remains unique in<br />

Switzerland to date. Whoever cracks it wins a kilogram of<br />

the coveted precious metal.<br />

Bon Appétit<br />

The elegantly furnished restaurant is responsible for<br />

ensuring gastronomic highlights and indulges guests<br />

with exquisite dishes – catering for both large and small<br />

appetites. Guests can enjoy seasonal fresh cuisine with a<br />

Mediterranean flair while being expertly looked after by<br />

the forthcoming service team. But what would a good<br />

meal be without excellent wine? At the Grand Casino<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>, guests can choose from delectable wines of over<br />

Tips for a night out:<br />

360 different provenances. The Caveau cellar provides<br />

a suitable backdrop for tastings and memorable wine<br />

evenings. Three stylish bars, the Heineken Lounge and the<br />

extended catering service in the gaming area round off the<br />

extensive facilities.<br />

Self-serve entertainment<br />

The Grand Casino <strong>Baden</strong>’s all-inclusive deals ensure a<br />

maximum of fun and enjoyment. Packages such as the<br />

newcomer offer “Cocktail & Gamble” or the maxi-variant<br />

“Dine & Gamble” and the entertainment dinners<br />

“Casinopoly” and “Dinner for Winner” focus on the<br />

relationship between gastronomy, entertainment and<br />

gaming. With the “Celebrate & Gamble” deal, visitors can<br />

not only enjoy themselves at the Roulette table or at Poker<br />

but also immerse themselves in the nightlife of Zurich and<br />

<strong>Baden</strong>. An extra portion of fun also awaits newcomers on<br />

Tuesdays with the “Newcomer Special” or the “Ladies<br />

Special” which reserves Wednesdays for groups of ladies<br />

(online reservation required).<br />

Club Joy<br />

“Club Joy” stands for a multifunctional event location<br />

which can accommodate a maximum of 300 persons and<br />

offers almost countless possibilities for use in the events<br />

field. On Fridays and Saturdays the new facilities are used<br />

as a stylish and up-market party club, while during the<br />

week they may house cabaret performances, theatre,<br />

readings, musical showcases or live TV broadcasts while<br />

becoming an oasis of relaxation during intermissions.<br />

Trafo<br />

Convention Center Trafo <strong>Baden</strong><br />

Where once electrical transformers were manufactured,<br />

now conferences, presentations and celebrations are held.<br />

Accessible from Zurich in only 16 minutes by rail and<br />

3 minutes on foot, the Trafo <strong>Baden</strong> centre is a great venue<br />

for medium-sized and large companies and a success<br />

factor for your events. Just as consumers are becoming<br />

increasingly demanding, so conference participants expect<br />

a wider range of services. Alongside input in the form of<br />

talks and presentations, face-to-face meetings are once<br />

again becoming ever more important. The individual<br />

programme points change as required since cinema<br />

presentations, group work, voting by SMS, top-class<br />

buffet lunches and good personal exchanges are all part<br />

of the successful conference of the future.<br />

All this is possible under a single roof at the Trafo <strong>Baden</strong><br />

centre. Companies such as Hewlett-Packard and<br />

Raiffeisen Bank hold large-scale events here. They<br />

appreciate the state-of-the-art infrastructure, flexibility,<br />

unique design and good links with the airport, rail system<br />

and motorway. The Trafo centre is also much praised<br />

for the quality of dishes served, which are prepared in<br />

house, and for the cordiality of the team. In 2012, <strong>Baden</strong>’s<br />

Trafo centre hosted 259 events with an average of 250<br />

and a total of 64,535 guests. The new construction<br />

project with hotel, restaurant and apartments, which<br />

began on 1 October 2012, represents a further milestone<br />

in the history of the Trafo <strong>Baden</strong> centre.<br />
