Solingen-Dahl, Historic settlement in Solingen, Germany.

Dahl settlement lies in southern Merscheid within the district of Ohligs/Aufderhöhe/Merscheid, near the Viehbach stream and forest area at 150 meters elevation.

The settlement dates back to 1363, when it was first documented as Daile, and by 1488 it appeared in the Abbey of Altenberg's registry as Hove im Daill.

The Richterhaus, a half-timbered courthouse from 1558, represents regional architecture with its natural stone ground floor and intricate timber frame system.

The Peter Knecht House, relocated to Dahl in 1993, stands as a museum showcasing the history of the Solingen cutlery industry and local merchant life.

Several local judges of the Solingen district resided in Dahl, conducting court proceedings within the settlement, making it a former judicial center.
