Rote Fabrik
An old silk mill on the lake
A lakeside cultural centre in a former silk mill: concerts, theatre, film and art under one roof.
About Rote Fabrik
The Rote Fabrik, a silk-weaving mill until 1940, stands on the shore of Lake Zurich in Wollishofen and is the city’s alternative counterpart to the big cultural institutions: concerts, art, film screenings and theatre under one roof, with the Shedhalle for contemporary art and the restaurant Ziegel oh Lac on the same site. Nirvana, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Manu Chao played here before they were famous in Europe. Opening times follow the programme.
