In the mood for Baden?
Just dive in!
Dear readers,
Have you been to the spa district lately? It’s well worth exploring the
area. It’s often more interesting to experience changes at first hand,
step by step, rather than just waiting for something new to appear.
And there’s plenty happening on the Limmat bend. But dedicated
people are also hard at work behind the scenes of the Bäderverein
(Bath Association). One major success was the CHF 200,000 in
financial support provided by the Federal Office of Culture. to set
up the “Baden spa culture” project. One of the key challenges will
be to coordinate all the planned and current projects in the spas.
For once, we are focusing on local authority projects.
Baden is ist
When you look across the Limmat, you’ll see Ennetbaden. Our
neighbour, which has many links to the city of Baden, is celebrat-
ing its 200th anniversary this year. We’ll be joining in. Baden and
Ennetbaden share the Limmat and its river banks. Nature and the
idyllic setting make the Limmat region a valuable urban recreation
area. It's the perfect place to relax.
full of Energie.
voller energy.

Do you know the Royal? This cultural centre, with its incredibly
varied range of activities, is feeling its age. Built as a cinema, these
days it is much more focused on music, dance, talks and most of
all cultural diversity. Thanks to huge dedication from the many peo-
ple involved, an independently operating cultural centre has been
created. Read more about this showcase model, which arose out
of the centre's interim use.
Sport brings people together and teaches valuable lessons about
life: how to deal with disappointment, push yourself to your limits,
be in tune with yourself, celebrate victories and deal with defeats.
Are you involved in sport, or would you like to be? Baden has a
vision for sport. More than 80 sports clubs offer every kind of sport
you can imagine. A new association has now been set up as a link
between sport and politicians.
The 100Percent magazine is entering its third year, constantly draw-
ing attention to new aspects of Baden. Immerse yourself in the
stories that make our city what it is. Enjoy reading.
Kind regards,
Markus Schneider, City Mayor
