Guided Story
Take a look at the striking church tower, rising above the rooftops of Solingen, with its inscription from the Book of Jeremiah. This feature speaks to the long history of this location. Built in 1956 by architect Wilhelm Schrader, this Protestant church is the fourth on this historic site, a place of spiritual importance since the late 11th century. As you turn around, notice how the church shapes the central Fronhof square, just 43 meters north, a lively meeting point in the central district. It is part of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland and plays a vital role in the local community. Feel the history within these walls and the serene presence that this place exudes.
