About Solingen

Solingen lies in the Bergisches Land region of North Rhine-Westphalia and is home to around 160,000 people. Long known as Germany's "City of Blades," it has a centuries-old tradition of producing knives, scissors, and precision tools — a heritage reflected in local landmarks such as the Kretzer Schere. Beyond its industrial identity, the city offers quieter corners: the Holocaust Mahnmal commemorates victims of the Nazi era, the Biblischer Garten provides a place of reflection, and the Graffiti Wall 3 represents a more contemporary creative side of urban life.
