Baden’s industrial history
Through the ages
Baden has evolved, thanks to visionary personalities, from an industrial metropolis into an internationally recognized center for services and employment. This tour showcases how the former BBC industrial site has recently transformed into a modern, vibrant city district. At the heart of the story are two pioneers from Baden who conquered the world with their development of steam and gas turbines, turning Baden into the “electric city.”
The 1990s also brought significant changes, particularly through the redesign of Baden Nord. Anecdotes about a female crane operator, a bicycle parking lot, loft apartments, and the “Härdöpfelbunker” bring the city’s development to life. A story full of ingenuity and forward-looking ideas.
