The Stolberg old town is one of the historic town centers of North Rhine-Westphalia and part of Oberstolberg in the copper town of Stolberg in the Aachen urban region. The old town goes back to the origins of the city and, together with Stolberg Castle, forms the historic town center of Stolberg. The oldest streets and alleys are near the castle. Several half-timbered houses in the late Gothic style have been preserved; historic quarry stone houses made of dolomite lime dominate, whose window and door frames, corner blocks and other load-bearing and decorative elements are made of bluestone. Over a hundred buildings are listed and there are numerous sculptures there. The oldest copper yards in Stolberg are also located here.

The castle stands on a limestone rock. It dates from the 15th century, a previous building dated to the 12th century.

very beautiful old town with the castle, unfortunately the rest of Stolberg is not so beautiful.

Small winding streets with houses made of local limestone and carved bluestone on doors, windows and wall edges look back at you as you walk through the old town of Stolberg.
As you stroll, you take your time to look at the traditional house facades and notice that despite the old town's long history of development and the influence of the industrial era, a homogeneous appearance has emerged.
You walk through Burgstrasse, Schartstrasse, Klatterstrasse and Enkereistrasse, which were the main streets until the end of the 19th century.
When you arrive on Klatterstrasse you stand in front of the oldest surviving half-timbered house from 1529.
Next to it is the house number 12 from the 18th century, which used to be a brewery.
In his basement there was a pond (moat) from the weir that cooled the beer.
