Celebrating Halloween in the Berber terrain: Authentic spooky enchantments stretch from Solingen to Haan
In the heart of Bergisches Land, Germany, the towns of Solingen and Haan are embracing the autumn season with a unique twist – a Halloween extravaganza that brings the community together.
Andrea Stolzenberger, renowned for her baking books and the brand "Cute Cottage Overloaded", has transformed the "Pink House" in Solingen-Burg into an autumnal dream world for Halloween. Inspired by Scandinavian flair and magic, the "Pink House" offers a little break from everyday life, promising a unique atmosphere that delights visitors.
Meanwhile, in Solingen-Aufderhöhe, the R. family has made a tradition out of their detailed Halloween decoration. Three weeks before the big day, their front yard is transformed into a chilling scene with bloody limbs, spider webs, and a "rattling fir tree motorcycle". The family's enthusiasm for Halloween is evident, drawing inspiration from Mrs. R.'s work at the "House of Life".
In Haan, the pedestrian zone comes alive with a "Halloween Danger Zone" and a "Walking Zombie Area" on a family's terrace. The entrance to the "Walking Zombie Area" is guarded by a zombie and a masked skeleton, while a mummy figure sits enthroned with a bloody chalice at the back entrance.
Trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving are traditions associated with Halloween, and in these towns, they are celebrated with enthusiasm. The F. family in Langenfeld-Wiescheid has even made it a tradition to transform their home into a Halloween landscape on their anniversary, which falls on October 31st.
Halloween is not just about the spooky decorations and costumes; it is a day of remembrance for the deceased, originating from the ancient festival of Samhain, which merged with All Saints' Day on November 1st.
