Altena - the cradle of wire

Altena's history has been inextricably linked with wire drawing since the 16th century. And even if chain mail is no longer all the rage today, there are countless applications for the finest wires. Electricity from the socket, telephones, digitalization, the Internet, touchscreens - none of this would have been possible without the invention of wire. As the cradle of wire, the region can therefore be proud to have made a decisive contribution to this development and connected the world a little more.
