Podcast Tour Solingen: Gräfrath's Slate and Steel

Leave the industrial hum of Solingen behind and immerse yourself in a village that seems to have forgotten time. But don't be fooled by the picturesque slate facades and green window shutters. On this Red Thread Tour, we uncover the paradox of Gräfrath: a meticulously preserved medieval settlement that survived catastrophic fires, wondrous legends, and the unstoppable advance of the 'Blade City'. Discover how a quiet monastic refuge became entangled in global industrial dominance and why the most peaceful streets hide a loud, dirty, and fascinating past.
