Occupation of the Wohlgroth area, Alternative social space in Zurich, Switzerland.
The Wohlgroth area contained five buildings that provided housing, emergency shelter, a library, cinema, and communal kitchen near Zurich's central station.
Between May 1991 and November 1993, around 100 people occupied the former Wohlgroth AG factory site after the company relocated its operations in 1989.
The location functioned as an independent cultural center where residents organized film screenings, concerts, art exhibitions, and community gatherings for local inhabitants.
The bar generated income to support various projects within the complex, including a communal kitchen that served meals to residents and visitors daily.
The graffiti 'Zureich' painted along the railway tracks represented an anti-capitalist message, playing with the words 'Zurich' and 'reich' meaning rich.
