Impressions from Solingen. They might be substantially or trivial, in any case they are characteristical for this mid-range city in western Germany. The hometown of finest cutlery with a some hundret years old tradition in this manufacturing. A city, which was destroyed extensive while the WW2 and rebuild in the typical manor of the 1950's "modern" architecture. But nevertheless tiny islands of origin has been left and so the whole city is a virulent mix between dullness and normal course of life, secret scenarios and ordinary public areas, you see all around on the world. For this reason it is attractive to take a closer look. A close up to an unusual common city. Because you may recover a lot of antipodes.
