Stolberg – the Copper City
Stolberg, known as the Copper City, looks back on a rich industrial history. The historic old town with its winding lanes, half-timbered houses and the picturesque Vicht brook valley tells of the time of the copper masters, who processed brass and copper here from the 16th century. From Parkhotel Hammerberg, you can reach the town centre in just 2 kilometres – a perfect stroll along green paths.
Stolberg Castle
Stolberg Castle sits majestically above the old town and is the landmark of the city. Built in the 12th century, this hilltop castle offers an impressive view over the Vicht Valley and the surrounding landscape. Inside the castle, regular cultural events, concerts and exhibitions take place. The ascent to the castle through the historic lanes is one of the most beautiful walks in Stolberg.
Copper courts and industrial heritage
Stolberg boasts the highest concentration of historic copper courts in the world. These impressive industrial buildings from the 16th to 18th centuries are unique testimonies to the copper and brass industry. The Kupfermeister cemetery and the Zinkhütter Hof Museum tell the fascinating story of Stolberg's industrial pioneers. A tour of the copper courts is like a journey back to the heyday of the Copper City.
