Gronau’s most famous son, rock musician Udo Lindenberg makes no secret of his love for his home town, because “a colourful world is lived here”. He comes to Gronau regularly, he stands larger than life in bronze at a roundabout and he is closely associated with the inhabitants of the town. He proves this again and again through sponsorships and support of various projects. In 2016, he was made an honorary citizen of the city.

The Rock 'n' Pop Museum, with its blend of red brick and metal architecture, is brightly lit at dusk along a quiet river, featuring colorful arched lights and a large illuminated billboard reflected in the water.
