Lange Riege, Workers settlement in Hagen, Germany.

Lange Riege is a row of eight one-room houses built wall-to-wall in Bergisch half-timbered style, with stables at the rear, along the Selbecker Bach in the Eilpe district of Hagen. The layout integrates living quarters and workshops, and the ensemble is considered the oldest workers settlement in Westphalia.

In 1661 Solingen blade smiths left the Bergisches Land and signed a contract with the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm zu Brandenburg granting them the sole right to make sword and sabre blades in Prussia in return for settling there. By a contract of 24 January 1664 they received dwellings and workshops at Eilpe, built at the Elector's expense; around 1665 they added a school at the head of the street. The last Eilpe cutlery workshop was struck from the trade association register on 18 February 1899.

The settlement served as a center for blade production, where grinding workshops, steel hammers, and hardening facilities operated side by side. These craft workshops created a complete production system that shaped the local economy for generations.

The settlement is located at Riegestrasse 6-18 and can be viewed from the exterior throughout the year without any entrance fee. The best way to understand the architecture and layout is to walk slowly along the row of houses and the stream flowing behind them.

The name "Lange Riege" comes from the popular speech of Eilpe and means "long row", after the houses placed wall to wall along the Selbecker Bach. The smiths also built a school at the start of the street around 1665 with the Elector's support. The last knife smithy was struck from the trade association register on 18 February 1899.
