Deutsches Klingenmuseum

In the location's words:

In Solingen, the city of blades, this museum is of course a must. Everything here revolves around knives, swords, scissors and everything that cuts - and not just from Germany, but from all over the world. The collection is truly impressive: from antique swords from faraway countries to delicate cutlery that is almost too beautiful to use.

The museum is located in the former Gräfrath monastery, which gives the whole thing a special touch. You walk through this historic setting and learn how the art of blade making has developed over the centuries.

There are regular special exhibitions where you can discover really exciting things - from samurai swords to designer pieces. And for kids or the curious, there are often cool workshops where you can get creative yourself.

So if you want to see why Solingen is world-famous, then head to the German Blade Museum. Sharp thinking, sharp making! 😉✨
