Located directly on the historic market square in Mettmann, visitors can expect the "Alte Burgermeisterei" - a more than 400-year-old and particularly well-preserved half-timbered house that has already served as a residence, town hall and registry office.
Since 1980, the house and its premises have also been available for receptions, celebrations, awarding of orders, exhibitions and marriages. A large part of the premises is now home to the City History House, in which those interested can learn everything about the history of the city of Mettmann on three floors - from the first documented mention of the construction of the royal court to the time of National Socialism. Many exhibits in various themed rooms give exciting insights into the life of the people in the city in the past. In addition, visitors receive exciting information about geography and geology as well as limestone mining in the Neandertal, which brought the remains of Neanderthals to light in 1856.
