history

Attisholz, whose name is of Alemannic origin ( forest of Atto ), today mainly consists of the former Bad Attisholz and the buildings of the cellulose factory, which was closed in 2008. In 1902 there were 12 houses in Attisholz with 74 Roman Catholic residents.

Bad Attisholz

A bathing establishment in Attisholz has been documented since the 15th century. The first documented leaseholder of the bath, which had been owned by the city of Solothurn for centuries, was a Hans Ruchti, who left the bath in 1445. The water flows from a cold mineral spring ; a thermal spring was sought repeatedly but unsuccessfully. Bad Attisholz has been privately owned since 1840. The facilities of the bath, which also had a restaurant and was a popular excursion destination in the region, have been steadily enlarged over the centuries. The current building dates from 1756 (with an extension from 1900).

  • In the autumn of 1832, the Catholic Society in the Canton of Solothurn , a predecessor of the CVP Canton of Solothurn , was founded in Bad Attisholz . Even in the politically turbulent winter of 1840/41, the bath was a meeting place for the Catholic-conservative opposition.
  • Around 1945, shortly after the acquisition of Bad Attisholz by Cellulose Attisholz , the swimming pool was closed. Since then, operations have been limited to the restaurant.
  • In 2000 the Attisholz restaurant was acquired by the chef Jörg Slaschek and his wife Regula, who have been running it ever since, now also as a hotel.

The 1881 by Dr. Cellulose Attisholz AG , founded by Benjamin Sieber, was the only cellulose factory in Switzerland. The Tela paper mill with its locations in Balsthal and Niederbipp later belonged to it, and in 1983 Attisholz also took over the German company Hakle . In 1999 the Attisholz-Holding sold Tela and Hakle to Kimberly-Clark . In 2000, Christoph Blocher acquired Attisholz cellulose and in 2002 sold it to Borregaard , a subsidiary of the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla . In 2008, Borregaard closed the factory. In the meantime she had carried the names Axantis and Atisholz (with a t).

Future use of the factory site

The area of ​​the cellulose factory stretched on both sides of the Aare. A production facility for the biotechnology group Biogen has been under construction on the southern area ( Attisholz Süd ), which is on the ground of the Luterbach community . For the northern area, the community assembly of Riedholz approved a "spatial model" in 2017, according to which the area owned by the Zurich real estate company Halter will gradually become a lively and diverse district of the community of Riedholz with a wide variety of housing forms over the next 20 to 30 years. Jobs, services, sports and leisure uses, art and cultural offers and gastronomy »should develop.

traffic

The closest public transport connection is the Riedholz station on the Solothurn-Niederbipp-Bahn , operated by Aare Seeland , about 500 m northwest of the center of Attisholz. A little further away, in the municipality of Luterbach, on the south side of the Aare, is the SBB station Luterbach-Attisholz on the Gäubahn . Since 1889 there has been an industrial track from Luterbach-Attisholz over a bridge across the Aare to the cellulose plant.
