Wupper valley
The river curves through a steep, wooded valley along the edge of the city, drawn as a winding line flanked by open space where the slopes are too steep to build on.

The map
Solingen lies in the Bergisches Land of North Rhine-Westphalia, between Düsseldorf, Cologne and Wuppertal. Rather than a single centre, the map shows a city formed from several older towns merged in 1929, including Ohligs, Wald, Gräfrath and Höhscheid, spread across ridges and valleys. Streets follow the lines of the hills, and patches of woodland reach deep into the urban area.
Known as the City of Blades, Solingen has made knives, scissors and swords for centuries, and its name is legally protected as a mark of origin for cutlery. The Wupper River cuts a deep, wooded valley along the edge of the city, one of the most striking natural features on the map and a clear boundary with its neighbours.
Over this valley stands the Müngsten Bridge, Germany's highest railway bridge, completed in 1897, and a few kilometres away Schloss Burg, the restored castle of the counts of Berg, looks down over the river. A Solingen map poster captures all of it: the dispersed districts, the wooded valleys and the rail line crossing the Wupper.
The river curves through a steep, wooded valley along the edge of the city, drawn as a winding line flanked by open space where the slopes are too steep to build on.
The steel arch railway bridge, opened in 1897, spans the Wupper between Solingen and Remscheid, and on the map the rail line leaps the valley in a single long stroke.
Ohligs, Wald, Gräfrath and other former towns each keep their own dense cluster of streets, so the map shows several centres connected across the hills.

Why Solingen
Solingen is a city of craft, and people who work with knives, tools or design often recognise its name at once. For those from the city, the map traces a patchwork of districts that locals know one by one.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, and choose one of five styles; Blueprint suits the engineering of the bridge. The $9 digital files cover six sizes including A3 and A2, and printed posters come on matte paper with an optional wooden frame.
