The area has roots extending back over 1000 years, with early documentation linked to Haus Rhade castle. Over centuries, it developed from a rural region into an industrial center through local enterprise and trade.
The town's identity has long been shaped by manufacturing and craftsmanship that remain visible in its buildings and layout. You'll notice how these traditions continue to influence how residents and businesses use the space today.
Visitors will find shops, restaurants, and services concentrated in the town centers and commercial areas. The rolling terrain means some exploration requires walking uphill, so comfortable shoes and extra time are helpful for getting around.
