Bergisch Gladbach

Bergisch Gladbach has been a centre of papermaking in the Bergisches Land since the 16th century. The Strunde, a small stream flowing west towards the Rhine, once powered mills that shaped the town’s industrial development. At the LVR Industrial Museum Paper Mill Alte Dombach, preserved equipment and demonstrations trace papermaking from handmade sheets to mechanised production. Bensberg, now part of the city, is known for its Baroque hunting lodge built for Elector Palatine Johann Wilhelm. Wooded hills on Cologne’s eastern edge give Bergisch Gladbach a distinctly Bergisch setting.
