Self-guided Podcast Tour Solingen: Steel, Stone, and Electricity

Discover the hidden machinery behind the world-famous brand 'Made in Solingen'. This is not a factory, but a journey through a decentralized industrial landscape that turned an entire city into a workshop. From the slate-clad villas of the merchant elite to the damp, roaring river valleys where the dredgers ruined their lungs. You will walk in the footsteps of the 'Liewerfrauen' – those delivery women who carried the burden of industry on their heads. Come with us and we'll dissect the 'Solinger System': a story about craftsmanship, radical inequality, and the geological fate of the Wupper.
