Overview
Intro
Join us on a journey through time and explore the evolution of Winterthur’s economic life!
The development of Winterthur’s economy from Roman times to the present day. Where, in the days of the Habsburgs, the waters of the Eulach powered mills, craft workshops later produced clocks and stoves with great skill and expertise. Finally, in the 19th century, innovative Winterthur residents established powerful industrial enterprises that brought the city international renown. Today, those large machines have been shut down. Join us on a journey through time and explore the evolution of Winterthur’s economic life! On this fascinating tour, you’ll experience firsthand how the city and its residents have adapted to rapid change — from mills, clocks, and stoves to powerful industrial enterprises and today’s modern tech industry.
