Ohligs: Blade City Roots, Railway Hub, and the Southern Gateway to Solingen
Ohligs is a district of Solingen in Nordrhein-Westfalen with a population around 43,000. Until 1929, Ohligs was an independent town and a rival to neighbouring Solingen in the Bergisches Land blade-making industry. The main railway station serving the city of Solingen is located here, named Solingen Hauptbahnhof despite being in Ohligs, a source of local identity friction.
The Ohligser Heide, a heath and woodland area, is a nature reserve popular for walking. The district's commercial centre runs along the Duesseldorfer Strasse and the Markt. Ohligs industrialised around cutlery, scissors, and razor blade production, complementing Solingen's sword and knife tradition. The Klingenhalle sports arena is nearby. Ohligs sits at the junction of the Bergisches Land and the Rhineland plain, with Cologne reachable in about 30 minutes by regional train. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
