Orte des Wohlstands: Wie Geld die Stadt Zürich prägt
Overview
Intro
A historical walking tour of the university district as part of the Zurich Science Festival "Scientifica," organized by ETH and UZH in collaboration with the City of Zurich.
This historical tour of the university district focuses on the wealthy families and individuals who shaped the city’s social, artistic, and academic life. The sites and villas visited on this tour offer participants insight into the role of the former patrician families associated with the textile industry, as well as traces of the Zurich stay of John D. Rockefeller—the richest man in the world in 1900—as well as the close ties between the financial world and the arms industry in the development of the Kunsthaus Zürich.
