Solingen é uma cidade da Alemanha localizada na região administrativa de Düsseldorf, estado da Renânia do Norte-Vestfália. Solingen é uma cidade independente (Kreisfreie Städte) ou distrito urbano (Stadtkreis), ou seja, possui estatuto de distrito (Kreis). Solingen é conhecida como "Cidade das lâminas", uma vez que diversas forjas de renome estão instaladas há séculos na cidade, fabricando espadas, facas, tesouras e navalhas. Tal fama remonta à Idade Média, quando os ferreiros de Solingen cunharam a expressão "Cidade das lâminas". No final do Século XVII, um grupo de ferreiros de Solingen quebrou os juramentos da profissão, e levou os segredos das forjas de Solingen para a cidade de , na Inglaterra.
