General

Architectural monuments are "monuments that consist of structures or parts of structures". The list of monuments of the city of Solingen currently (2015) includes 973 architectural monuments. In addition, a decorative floor rosette at Kirchplatz 14 has been registered as a movable monument in Part C since July 16, 1997 .

If available, a name or a rough categorization (residential building, commercial building, factory building, auxiliary building, etc.) must be given for each monument; also the address, the date of entry in the list of monuments and the consecutive number assigned by the Lower Monument Authority . In addition, there is a brief description of all monuments, and if known, the approximate construction time is also given. A photograph is also available for some architectural monuments.

With the many half-timbered houses , some of which have been sheltered , more detailed explanations of the external design have been dispensed with in most cases. Unless otherwise stated, these are classic half-timbered houses of the Bergisch style . For this building tradition, the black painting of the stud work , the white painting of the window and door frames, the liming of the compartments , the green painting of the shutters and doors and the use of Rhenish slate for wall cladding are common. Often only the weather side of the building was initially slated; However, wealthy builders often afforded their houses to be slated on all sides.

Monument areas

Half-timbered house in the monument area Unterburg

For a long time, the city of Solingen had designated four monument areas in part D of the list of monuments.

  • Historic town center of Alt-Gräfrath around the market square at the foot of the monastery church, center of a small Bergisch town from the beginning of the 18th century
  • Upper castle with the reconstructed castle and the surrounding historical buildings
  • Hofschaft Dahl , Altbergische Hofschaft in the valley of the Viehbach, half-timbered houses of the Bergisch style, including the imposing Richterhaus
  • Wald town center with the church and the adjacent streets with historic buildings

At the beginning of 2013, another monument area statute came into force. This is the area of ​​the Unterburg at the confluence of the Eschbach in the Wupper , below the monument area around the castle. The place is characterized by an almost closed development with half-timbered houses, some of which are centuries old.
