"Commemorative Open Days": Exploring historic landmarks
On September 8, 2024, Solingen will be celebrating its Heritage Day, offering visitors a unique opportunity to delve into the city's rich history. Here's what you can expect.
One of the main attractions will be Schloss Burg, a historical site that has been undergoing renovation for several years. On Heritage Day, limited access to construction sites will be available, providing a rare glimpse into the restoration process. Guided tours of Schloss Burg will take place every half hour from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, lasting approximately 60 minutes. Children aged 8 and above, accompanied by an adult, can participate in these tours. However, please note that sturdy footwear is required, and the tour may not be suitable for people with limited mobility due to uneven floor surfaces and steep stairs.
To visit Schloss Burg, registration is mandatory and must be confirmed by September 5, 12:00 PM. You can register via email at [email protected] or by phone at 0212 / 290 - 4423.
Another historical site opening its doors on Heritage Day is Haasenmühle 8, a ensemble built in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The site will be open for visits from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but please be aware that there are construction areas with uneven floor surfaces and steep stairs, making it inaccessible for some visitors. Visits to Haasenmühle 8 are at your own risk.
Three historical sites, including Haasenmühle 8 and Schloss Burg, will offer insights behind their facades on Heritage Day. The theme of this year's event is "Witnesses of Time. Time witnesses of history".
