  • Globus-Chronik
    Globus-Chronik Turbulente Gründerjahre 1892 Josef Weber, der Sohn eines reichen Händlers, eröffnet auf der Papierwerdinsel in Zürich «J. Webers Bazar», das erste grosse Warenhaus der Schweiz. Die Attraktion: elektrisch beleuchtete Schaufenster. Seine Geschäftspraktiken, die er bei Printemps in Paris kennenlernte, sind für Zürich neu: Unter einem Dach führt er in spezialisierten Abteilungen beinahe alle Handelsbranchen (Strategie: «Alles für alle»); ohne Kaufzwang kann die Ware wie in einer Ausstellung besichtigt werden; die Preise sind angeschrieben, und es muss bar bezahlt werden – ein Feilschen gibt es nicht. Und vor allem: Weber setzt auf Neuheiten. Die Geschäfte laufen gut an. Bereits ein Jahr später sind aber die Kassen leer. Weber sucht einen Geldgeber. 1893 Der Bankier Heinrich Burkhardt erwirbt «J. Webers Bazar». Er will rasch expandieren – aber auch er wird nicht über Nacht zum Warenhauskönig. Doch dem zielstrebigen Mann gelingt es wiederholt, nach Misserfolgen das Hauptgeschäft (ehemals Webers Bazar) in eine neue Gesellschaft zu retten. 1896 «Globus» wird erstmals als Firmenname verwendet. 1907 Nun hat Heinrich Burkhardt Erfolg: Am 7. Februar wandelt er das Handelsunternehmen in die «Magazine zum Globus» um – diese Unternehmung hat Bestand. Filialen sind das Hauptgeschäft auf der Papierwerdinsel in Zürich, ein Warenhaus in Aarau und ein Konfektionsgeschäft am Löwenplatz in Zürich. Im gleichen Jahr wird ein vierter Globus in Basel eröffnet. Die Geschäfte laufen nun ausgezeichnet. Burkhardt führt die Sonntagsruhe im Warenhaus ein (damals wird 60 Stunden pro Woche gearbeitet). 1908 Eröffnung des Globus in Chur am Kornmarkt und in St. Gallen (Zukauf «Rösslitor» erst im Jahr 1927). 1909 Burkhardt muss 1909 seine Globus-Aktien verkaufen; sein Bankhaus benötigt dringend Geld.
