Guided Story
Imagine standing in front of a building that's been part of history for over a century. Look closely at the intricate façade. This Renaissance Revival architecture isn't just a pretty sight; it was once the headquarters of the Prussian Landwehr. Just behind you, a short walk away, is Solingen Mitte, the bustling heart of the city. But right here, where you're standing, used to be the independent town of Dorp. Can you picture this building as the center of its own community? Today, it houses the offices of the Richard Abr. Herder company. It's a living piece of history, still in use today.
