Friday at 5 | F.M. Hämmerle – where threads wrote history [SOLD OUT]

On the outskirts of the farming village of Gisingen, the Gisingen spinning mill and the Hämmerle colony were established with the start of construction in 1892 and the commissioning in 1894. A workers' housing settlement developed with significant population growth, which also led to tensions with the local population. However, the factory also brought economic progress: soon new shops and inns settled in the upper village. Let us embark on a journey into this past together.

Guide: Matthias Nägele
Meeting point: Entrance to the F.M. Hämmerle factory – Hämmerlestr. 22, Gisingen
