Downpipe and rain gutter in Bergisch green


The Bergisches Dreiklang denotes the typical color combination in architecture in the Bergisches Land in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The combination consists of the black half-timbered beams , white partitions , gleaming white window and door frames and green doors and wood shutters . Often other elements, especially rain gutters and downpipes, are painted green. In some cases, however, the white compartment can also be covered with gray-black slate (introduced around 1750) and therefore not visible.

As Bergisch Green designated color contributes to the RAL color system , the no. 6005th

Bergisch Green RAL 6005
Bergisch Green - bright RAL 6024

Bergisch Grün - mixture RAL 6026 and 6029

In the case of listed houses, the Lower Monument Authority in the Bergisch cities ensures that this color is used for facade work.

In the Lower Bergisch town of Mettmann , a mixture of two colors is required (RAL 6026 and 6029).
