history
The ZFV companies were founded in 1894 by Zurich's bourgeois women under the name Frauenverein für Mäßigkeit und Volkswohl with the aim of setting up non-alcoholic restaurants in which one could linger without alcohol pressure and drink a coffee or have a healthy meal. Susanna Orelli-Rinderknecht played a key role in the founding and success of the association.
In 1934 the women's association ran 18 non-alcoholic restaurants in Zurich: “Blauer Seidenhof”, “Karl der Grosse”, “Olivenbaum”, Volkshaus Helvetiaplatz, “Freya”, “Sonnenblick”, “Wasserrad”, Wipkingen parish hall , “Lettenhof”, “Platzpromenade” , “Rütli”, “Zur Limmat”, Rosengasse 10, “Frohsinn”, “Lindenbaum”, Kurhaus Zürichberg, Kurhaus Rigiblick and “Baumacker”.
Until 2002, the cooperative retained the name of the Zurich Women's Association for Alcohol-Free Businesses, which had existed since 1909 . Due to the social and economic changes, the ZFV companies have gradually relaxed the previous rigorous alcohol ban. After a change in the statutes in 2001, alcoholic beverages can now also be served.
Until 2000, the ZFV companies were only active in the Zurich area. Since then, they have expanded their range of activities and are now active throughout German-speaking Switzerland.
