1910 - 1996: The beginnings as a metal foundry
The story begins with the company Nyffenegger & Co. AG, a successful metal foundry in Zurich-Oerlikon. Over the decades, the company became an integral part of the neighborhood. In 1996, the company moved to Binzmühlestrasse - leaving behind a building with great potential.
From 1996: From studio to trendy meeting place
The well-known metal artist Lukas Hofkunst recognizes the potential of the location. What began as a studio soon turned into a workshop, then into living space - and finally into a hotspot for Zurich's subculture. Illegal parties soon make the Giesserei famous throughout the city.
1997 - 1999: From subculture to official address
The entrepreneur Ursin Mirer leads the Giesserei - with the support of the Nyffenegger family (the owners of the building) - from illegality to legality.
In 1999, Fidel Gastro AG is founded by Ursin Mirer, Lukas Hofkunst and Hans Nyffenegger. The restaurant and banqueting offer is professionalized - the foundation stone for today's success is laid.
2000 - 2009: From insider tip to trendy restaurant
2011 - 2013: Expansion with the Metalli
