Urs E. Schwarzenbach

Urs E. Schwarzenbach is a prominent figure in Zurich, known for owning the luxury Dolder Hotel and being an avid art collector. He has been involved in legal disputes with authorities over allegations of art smuggling and tax evasion, but last July, he announced that he had settled all outstanding debts with customs and tax authorities. Recently, he made headlines for selling a historic ensemble of buildings on Augustinergasse, located near Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse, to the À-Porta Foundation, which seeks to manage the properties responsibly and maintain existing tenant relationships.
