Bergisch Gladbach
A commuter city just east of Cologne in the wooded Bergisches Land, its economy tied closely to the much larger neighbour it borders, with a large share of residents working in Cologne. Paper manufacturing once dominated the local industry, and remnants of that trade remain alongside a modern services-based economy.
