In the location's words:

Solingen - not only the world-famous home of first-class blades, but also of the German Blade Museum.

From Stone Age knives to designer cutlery, from samurai swords to nail scissors, the DKM tells the entire history of blades and cutting.

The new permanent exhibition "ME FECIT SOLINGEN - Blades : City : History" explains why and how Solingen became the world-famous city of blades. A captivating presentation with interactive stations invites visitors to get to know the history of blades in Solingen from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.

And the little ones are also catered for: the new children's exhibition DRAGON AND MAGIC SWORD conveys the history of blade production in many interactive stations. Specially designed for kindergarten and primary school children.

The museum library has extensive secondary literature on the topics of the DKM, houses a treasure trove of historical fencing books and sample books from blade production, has a rich collection of company catalogs and the book collection of the former technical school of the steelware industry.
