Historical city center

 

 

Velbert-Langenberg is a picturesque place with a cultural focus on literary art. In 1998, the city of Velbert launched the “Langenberg Book City” concept. The lovingly restored old town with narrow streets offers a perfect environment for this. Mainly creative people and artist groups have settled in the pretty, small shops.

There are several antiquarian book shops and even original works by the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri. In one of Langenberg's rooms are 30 editions of his "Divine Comedy", written between 1307 and 1320. Once or twice a year, the historic old town invites you to the book market and attracts numerous people interested in literature from near and far. A visit to the book market is also the perfect opportunity to explore the beautiful slate town during a walk through the town center of Velbert-Langenberg.
