Curiosities

Néandertal (formerly Néanderthal), which is known in the whole world, belongs partly to Mettmann. It is there, in a calcareous career, which one found the remainders of a prehistoric man called for this reason Homme of Néandertal. Today, it is a place of excursion, equipped with a museum. The name of Néandertal had been given to this valley in the honor of the poet Joachim Neander, author of Cantique S Protestant, which was accustomed to walking there.

One admires also the old historical city with the place of the Market and the typical houses of minors covered with black slate, with green shutters most of the time, the Catholic church Saint-Lambert and the church Lutheran, formerly reformed, built gray stones, finally the water mill restored carefully close to the Goldberg pond. The old town hall, in the house located Mittelstrasse 10, shelters a small museum of the local life.
