As part of a talk on the topic of ‘Revitalize the Castle,’ Remigiusz Otrzonsek (Senior Partner at HPP) spoke on Saturday with Sarah Hutt (Monument Planning Engineer at Hutt), Holger Schödder (Deputy Chairman of the Castle Building Association), Gregor Ahlmann (Director of the Castle Museum) and Philipp Reinsdorf (Head of the Castle Renovation Department at the City of Solingen) about the challenges and special moments that arose during the revitalization of this important medieval landmark. ‘When revitalising a castle, we encounter many unexpected challenges – but it is precisely these that make the process unique. It is a special task for us to preserve history and at the same time create spaces for the future,’ explains Remigiusz Otrzonsek. On Sunday, 3,400 citizens explored the castle, which now shines in new splendour, during a Discovery Day.
From Wednesday, 10 September, Burg Castle will be open to visitors during regular opening hours. The new exhibition is still under construction and is expected to be open to the public in November.
