a town of Germany, in the Prussian Rhine Province, situated on an elevated plateau, 1100 ft. above sealevel, 6 m. by rail S. of Barmen and 20 m. N.E. of Cologne. Pop. (1905) 64,34 o. Remscheid is a centre of the hardware industry, and large quantities of tools, scythes, skates and other small articles in iron, steel and brass are made for export to all parts of Europe, the East, and North and South America. The name of Remscheid occurs in a document of 1132, and the town received the first impulse to its industrial importance through the immigration of Protestant refugees from France and Holland.
