Solingen-Ohligs — A District with its Own Identity

Ohligs is one of the most independent districts of Solingen in the Bergisches Land (North Rhine-Westphalia). With its own train station, a continuous pedestrian zone, and an active advertising association, Ohligs has an urban life of its own that clearly differs from Solingen-Mitte. The wine festival is one of the identity-forming festivals of this district.

Solingen — The "City of Blades" in Bergisches Land

Solingen (around 160,000 inhabitants) is known worldwide as the "City of Blades" — knives, cutting tools, and cutlery from Solingen are considered a quality standard. In the city area, the district of Ohligs is located on the western edge, directly on the Cologne–Wuppertal railway line.
