The name &#8220;Blindekuh&#8221; comes from the children\u2019s game in which one person, blindfolded, tries to catch the others. In a similar way, our guests experience a meal without visual stimuli. This sharpens their other senses and raises awareness of the everyday world of blind people.

Together they developed the idea for a dark restaurant. Along with the blind social worker Andrea Blaser and the blind singer Thomas Moser, they founded the non-profit foundation &#8220;Blind-Liecht.&#8221;    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1999, the four friends opened the world&#8217;s first dark restaurant with the help of the foundation. blindekuh Zurich quickly gained enthusiasm beyond national borders \u2013 and from 2001 onwards, it was copied several times abroad. In 2002, the exhibition &#8220;blindekuh, the Expo in the Dark&#8221; took place in Murten. In addition to J\u00fcrg Spielmann and Stefan Zappa, the blind doctor J\u00fcrg Fl\u00fcck was also one of the authors. In 2005, blindekuh opened in Basel.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entry in the Duden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2011, the term &#8220;Dunkelrestaurant&#8221; (dark restaurant) has been officially listed in the <strong>Duden<\/strong> dictionary.

He knew how to inspire and motivate his fellow founding members as well as the staff, and to break new ground together with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the success of the first restaurant in Zurich, the restaurant in Basel was also created thanks to his initiative. He was always in search of new opportunities and challenges. Unforgettable is the blindekuh Foundation\u2019s presence at Expo.02 in Murten, which he conceived.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through his many years of work, Stefan Zappa left a lasting mark on the field of services for blind and visually impaired people in Switzerland. In recognition of his extraordinary commitment and his great services to people with blindness and visual impairment, SZBLIND awarded him honorary membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
