Kulturhaus Helferei

Follow organizer

The Kulturhaus Helferei is located in the middle of Zurich's old town - in the very house where Ulrich Zwingli lived. Here there is an extensive cultural programme with theatre, performances, literature, cinema and music. The house is strongly networked with other cultural institutions in the city and places these networks in the context of its work. Themes of social change in our society are at the forefront.
