75 Years of Zwinglikirche - An Introduction

Why a new church? The rocky path to construction. A church in a time of change. A mission church for outer districts? Deutweg or Tösslfeld? Church or ecclesiastical building complex? Huldrych Zwingli, the namesake of Zwinglikirche. The Deutweg church between urban development and denomination. From Deutweg to the Mattenbach district. (Un)beloved neighbors? A religious and urban awakening. Jakob Wildermuth, the architect and master builder. Which church for which needs? A competition with reservations. Stones by the wayside. Art in construction, (not) a matter of course? Louis Moilliet, artist and stained glass painter. A "satellite church" becomes independent. The post-war period. New forms of church life. The "Zwingliana" and the beginnings of church youth work. Growth without limits? Pastor Walter Ammann-Hetzel, the "servant" of the Zwingli community. The path to the present. The Mattenbach parish. Between tradition and modernity. Church and society. Daily life in Zwinglikirche around 1970. The church in the 21st century: a "general store"? Heidi Dick and Hans Fahrni - church work between young and old. Epilogue: Preserve the foundation and broaden the perspective.
