Striking: Experiencing the present and making history
The Razzia in Zurich's Seefeld district has made history for more than 90 years. In 1920, architect Wilhelm Pfister-Picault designed the concept for a cinema in Seefeld. This was the first independent purpose-built cinema in Zurich.
Before that, silent films were only shown in business premises that were also used for other purposes. Since then, the later Razzia has been repeatedly sold off to new owners. A cinematic drama that is still not quite over. There are firm agreements that a barbecue restaurant is to be installed at this cultural venue from summer 2011. Until then, however, the restaurant will be restyled and used as a setting for films, parties and fashion shows. The Razzia will also be rented out as an event venue. Eventagentur.ch and Kuss magazine invited guests to the opening under the new management on September 2. "A fantastically beautiful location that would do credit to any cosmopolitan city," said the guests in amazement. They were particularly captivated by the walls. These were completely covered by the creatives of Kuss magazine with selected information and anecdotes from the history of the Razzia - except for a few holes where you can still discover the remaining paintings from the "good old days".
