Quartierentwicklung in WinterthurCity rents Römertor to Aldi
The hall and restaurant of the former Hotel Römertor stood empty for a long time. Now there is some movement in Oberi’s center. The city rents its part to the discounter Aldi. But the big project next door failed.
–Movement in and around the Römertor center: the hall and restaurant (right) are being converted into an Aldi, and a restaurant is moving to the ground floor of the block of flats. And the new building project at Migros does not come about.

Oberwinterthur has a pretty old village center and it has the Römertor as the actual center with shops, the post office and until 2017 even a hotel with a restaurant and hall. It is located between Frauenfelderstrasse, Stadlerstrasse and Guggenbühlstrasse and characterizes the rough corner with its concrete brutalist residential tower. After the hotel closed, the city exercised its right of first refusal and bought the extension for CHF 1.6 million. After that, little or nothing happened. That is changing now. The discounter Aldi moves into the former hall. The tenant fit-out for the 1000 square meter branch started this week.
