<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 />

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

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
