The Kälin site is located directly behind the railroad station in Oberwinterthur along the tracks. Here, an approximately 1.7 hectare residential and working quarter is being created, which was developed on behalf of Stadtbauentwicklungs AG by the firm Odinga Picenoni Hagen together with the City of Winterthur, pool Architekten and Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur in a test planning and today forms the basis for the private design plan. Through the study contract for five of seven building sites, the possibility of an attractive development of the northern post-industrial Kälin site was demonstrated under the framework conditions of the design plan.
