During the post-war period, women residing at the Marienheim in Rüti were subjected to forced labor at a local spinning mill owned by the Schuler family. Historical accounts indicate that this practice was part of a broader system involving the collaboration of religious institutions, the industrial sector, and state authorities.
The arrangement facilitated the use of institutionalized women as a labor force for the private enterprise. Reports suggest that the structure of this system allowed multiple entities to derive benefits from the labor of these women, marking a significant and previously overlooked chapter in the region’s history.
