"Friendship is sacred to me."
Alexandra Koch Devos, who everyone just calls Alex, has lived and worked in St.Gallen for seven years. She grew up on Lake Constance. After studying design at the Zurich University of the Arts, she moved back to eastern Switzerland. Mainly because her dearest friends are also at home here. Alex works as a freelance photographer in the food sector.
Solar power for everyone - including tenants
Solar power without your own solar system? The "St.Gallen Solar Community" makes it possible. The third photovoltaic system in the city is now producing solar power for the community: a few units are still available on the roof of the Zil upper school building. Locally produced solar power with just a few clicks - that's the "St.Gallen Solar Community". St.Galler Stadtwerke operates photovoltaic systems on various roofs in the city of St.Gallen, which produce solar power for community members. Local, simple, convenient - ordering a solar power unit takes just 5 minutes and costs less than CHF 300. The St.Gallen municipal utility's offer is aimed at tenants who do not have a roof available for the construction of their own photovoltaic system.
Coliving, coworking and café at collektiv (st.gallen)
A St.Gallen innovation is taking shape behind the scaffolding cover at Marktplatz 22. A young company is in charge. It's a home game: collektiv AG comes from St.Gallen, loves the city and is going full throttle. Opening in early summer 2024, the building offers flexible offices, rooms and apartments. There is a café on the first floor for arriving, working or taking a break. In the middle of the city, a meeting place is being created where people can live, work and enjoy themselves - or all together.
With bike courier Dimitrij on a foray through St.Gallen
Dimitrij Itten lives in the lively Linsebühl district of St.Gallen. As a bike courier, he knows the corners of the city like no one else, and as a yoga instructor, he gets many a person into flow. Dimitrij takes you on a tour of his territory. St.Gallen is diverse. Dimitrij will show you just how diverse during a morning yoga session at the Drei Weieren, during a visit to Espace Nina Keel, a place for art and architecture, or at his favorite barber Jorge De La Cruz in the middle of the quarter. Before getting back on his bike, he has a coffee with his partner at Kafi Franz. He appreciates the village character in the middle of the city, the proximity to nature and all the different people.
"Microbrewery instead of brothel? Goes without a hitch in Linsebühl"
For a long time, the area was rather disreputable. Brothels, street prostitution and dubious pubs dominated the scene. Today, a touch of urbanity floats through the oldest quarter outside the city walls. Trendy pubs, hip restaurants and a good portion of St.Gallen's down-to-earthness can be found there today, as well as tolerance. A foray.
90 nations make the Heiligkreuz neighborhood come alive
Past the Olma trade fairs, the Langgasse leads right into the heart of the Heiligkreuz quarter. A quarter that is quiet and green not far from the main road, but just as lively and diverse. Residents of the quarter from a wide variety of backgrounds give Heiligkreuz its very own lively character.
