Stolberg, Urban municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Stolberg spans across 98 square kilometers of land, situated at 260 meters elevation between Aachen and the Eifel mountain range.
Protestant brass manufacturers established operations in Stolberg during the 1600s, transforming the town into a metal production center for several centuries.
The medieval Stolberg Castle and numerous Kupferhöfe buildings represent the architectural heritage of metal manufacturing traditions in the region.
The central railway station connects to major cities through four intersecting lines, offering both regional trains and high-speed rail services.
The town earned the name Kupferstadt due to its brass production, not copper, with many historical brass manufacturing yards still standing today.
