Made in Solingen
The Trademark for quality
For many centuries the name Solingen was embodiment of high quality knives, cutlery and more. It is not suprising, that many companies try to make use of this name by selling their goods as "Made in Solingen", although they have not been produced in this city.
In order to fight this fraud, Solingen became the only city in the world whose name is a registered trademark. The so called "Solingenverordnung" regulates the use of the brand "Solingen" since 1938.
