Remscheid, Industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Located at an elevation of 328 meters, Remscheid spans across four districts with forests covering two-thirds of the municipal territory.

The settlement evolved from an 11th-century estate into a chartered town in 1808, later incorporating the neighboring towns of Lennep and Lüttringhausen in 1929.

The German Tool Museum exhibits generations of craftsmanship, while the Teo Otto Theater presents regular performances by the Bergisch Symphony Orchestra.

The Werkzeugtrasse, a former railway line converted into a cycle path, connects different parts of the city through green corridors.

The Eschbachtalsperre, constructed in 1891, stands as the first dam in Germany specifically built for drinking water supply.
