STOLBERG , a town of Germany, in the Prussian Rhine Province, situated on the Vichtbach, 7 M. E. of Aix-la-Chapelle, on the main line of railway to Cologne. Pop. (1905), 14,963. It contains two
Protestant
  and two Roman Catholic churches, a castle occupying the site of one said to have been used by Charlemagne as a
hunting
  seat. It is the centre of a very active and varied industry, exporting its produce to all parts of the world. The leading branch is metal-working, which is here carried on in important zinc,
brass
 , and iron foundries, smelting-works of various kinds, puddling and
rolling
  works, and manufactories of needles, pins and other metal goods. The ore is mostly found in the mines around the town, but some is imported from a considerable distance. In or near the town there are also large chemical works, glass-works, a
mirror
 -factory and various
minor
  establishments. Extensive coal-mines in the neighbourhood provide the enormous
supply
  of
fuel
  demanded by the various
industries
 . The industrial prosperity of the town was founded in the middle of the 17th century by French religious refugees, who introduced the art of
brass
