Guided Story

This impressive brick building was constructed in 1889 and served as the town hall of the once independent city of Burg an der Wupper. Take a moment to admire the intricate details of the facade, showcasing the craftsmanship of the late 19th century. After Burg was incorporated into Solingen in 1975, this building became a branch of the Solingen city administration and housed the Burg police station. You might notice the Drehscheibe Unterburg just about 128 meters northwest, hinting at the cultural vibrancy of the area. In 2011, Solingen decided to offer this heritage-protected building for sale, highlighting its historical significance. It stands quietly, witnessing the changing tides of history here.
