History of the knife city of Solingen

The name “City of Blades” can be traced back to a traditional history of Solingen. This tradition began in the Middle Ages with the sword and knife makers' guild. Due to the many rivers, Schleifkotten emerged and trade relations could be expanded. The short distance to Cologne and the principle of division of labor were also useful. These advantages led to the settlement of knife manufacturers in the 16th century. As a result, the Solingen knives, provided with their own mark, stood for quality all over the world and were valued by European aristocrats. The blade industry was the decisive economic factor in Solingen until the 19th century. After a temporary low caused by the First World War, there was renewed economic success due to mechanization. This is how the name "Blade City" came about in 2012.
