Club in Solothurn

Our premises are located in the old halls of the former Vogt-Schild printing works in Solothurn. The two floors and the foyer are housed in the historic part of the building, which has stood on this site since 1913. The premises were used as a sugar warehouse during the First World War. At that time, there was also a car garage and filling station on Zuchwilerstrasse.

In 1984, the media building and the Vogt-Schild printing works were built around the old industrial building. From this time on, the Solothurner Zeitung was printed in this building. The legendary CI with the blue heart was also introduced at this time: The "My Zytig" was born. In 2006, printing of the Solothurner Zeitung was then moved permanently to Derendingen and the printing plant building was sent into a long hibernation.

In the summer of 2023, Samuel Jaggi and Daniel Wagmann approached those responsible at AZ Medienhaus AG and the impossible became possible. A building application was submitted at breakneck speed and the planning of the realization was started. Shortly before it was no longer believed to be feasible, the Solothurn municipal building authority issued the building permit in June 2024. In a very intensive construction phase, the premises were transformed into the "Druckerei" club by countless volunteers. The rooms of the old building are characterized by their industrial and brutalist architecture.
