At 107 metres above the Wupper River, on the Remscheid-Solingen boundary, the steel-built Müngsten Bridge is the highest railway bridge in Germany. The 465-metre structure took shape from 1893 to 1897 and its main arch has a span of 170 metres. If you’d like to ride over this landmark it is part of the Wuppertal-Oberbarmen–Solingen Railway and is u...
The best way to view the Müngsten Bridge from below is at the Müngstener Brückenpark, a recreation area that was founded a decade ago during a region-wide employment project. The valley under the bridge is a thing of beauty for its cliffs, dense woodland and meadows with wildflowers. A restaurant has been set up in the park’s visitor centre, servin...
The man who first detected X-rays, Wilhelm Röntgen, was born in Lennep, part of Remscheid. He would win the very first Noble Prize in physics in 1901 for the discovery he made in 1895. A little way from his birthplace in Lennep there’s a museum for Röntgen in a patrician house on the Gansemarkt. In newly configured galleries, the museum explains Rö...
Although officially in Solingen, this Medieval wonder is only 10 minutes by road from the centre of Remscheid. And being so close there’s no excuse not to discover the ancestral seat of the Counts and Dukes of Berg. The castle is embedded in woodland 100 metres above the Wupper River and was at the peak of its power during the High Middle Ages, unt...
The chairlift at Unterburg was the first cable-car in North Rhine-Westphalia and has been carrying pedestrians up the challenging slope to Schloss Burg since 1952. In that time it has been updated, first in 1961 and then in 2013 when it was equipped with the latest control system. The chairlift is just shy of 250 metres long and has a vertical clim...
Projects like the Eschbach Dam helped Remscheid grow in the industrial age. This was the first dam to be built in the country for the supply of drinking water. And a bit like the Müngsten Bridge it was a cutting-edge piece of engineering that was almost unprecedented in Germany. The design was drawn up by the hydraulic engineer Otto Intze and the w...
A memorable public space in Remscheid-proper is the main square and scene of the weekly market and Christmas market. The landmark that will catch your attention here is the Neo-Renaissance town hall on the west side of the square. This was built from 1902 to 1906 and its 58-metre tower dominates the scene. Below, atop a tall pedestal is the statue ...
In the Hasten district is probably the finest property in Remscheid, a Rococo house built in the late 1770s by tool manufacturers, the Hilger brothers. The house has come through some interesting times, as for a while in the 1810s, when Remscheid was under French occupation, it housed “La Mairie”. Then from 1847 to the First World War it was the fa...
Remscheid’s status as a centre for tool-making goes back five centuries, and this legacy has been honoured at a museum just next to Haus Cleff. The Deutsches Werkzeugmuseum starts with Stone Age hand-axes and continues right through to 21st-century high-tech precision tools. The museum contrasts the tools manufactured in small, water-powered worksh...
The most romantic townscape in Remscheid is in Lennep to the east of the municipality. Untouched by the war, the old centre is taken over by typical “Bergisch” houses, with slate-clad walls and triangular gables. The tangle of cobblestone streets in the old centre has 116 listed properties. Some are Medieval half-timbered buildings (there’s a beaut...
