the emperor rides the monorail On October 24th 1900, Kaiser Wilhelm II and his consort Auguste went for a test ride in the suspension monorail, which at that time only operated on the western section. The monorail service for ordi-nary passengers began on March 1st 1901. tuffi jumps out of the monorail

Tuffi was an elephant that jumped out of a monorail train and into the Wupper near the station Adlerbrücke on July 21st 1950. The plan was to have the elephant ride the monorail as an advertising gimmick, but it became scared, kicked open the door, and plunged into the Wupper. Fortunately, Tuffi was not injured apart from a bruise.

Souvenirs of Tuffi and the suspension monorail are available from www.wupper-talshop.de.

the suspension monorail

length of the route 13.3 kilometres, including 10 kilometres above the Wupper journey time about 25 minutes, including stops at the 20 stations top speed 65 kph (speed limit 60 kph) length of the car-riages 24 metres weight 40 tons. 45 seats and room for 96 standing passengers number of passengers an average of 85,000 on working days, 24.8 million a year.

A mammoth reconstruction programme for the monorail system, including the supports and stations, began its planning phase in 1995. Key aspects of the pro-gramme were safety and modernization. In December 2015 the first of the new generation of carriages was delivered.

01 vohwinkel With its depot and workshop shed, the termi-nus of the suspension monorail in Vohwinkel is considerably larger than the other stations. Photographers often come here for the view from the platform of the narrow Kaiserstraße, into which the supports and rail have been squeezed. Original components of the sup-ports and the monorail trains have been re-stored and are on display in the Schwebebah-npark at the terminus (Am Stationsgarten).Equally eye-catching is the nearby imposing neo-Gothic town hall of Vohwinkel (1897–99; Rubensstraße 4). The trolleybus service to Solingen, like the suspension railway an unu-sual means of public transport, stops in front of the entrance to the town hall.

03 hammerstein The Kaiserstraße and the Sonnborner Straße once merged imperceptibly, but in the 70s the Sonnborn autobahn intersection cut through this part of the city. A 485-metre section of the monorail had to be raised by 2.2 metres in order to pass over the intersection. The view from the trains of the tangle of motorway arms is impressive.

05 zoo/stadion Wuppertal’s zoo dates from 1881, nestles among hills and is considered one of the most attractively landscaped zoos in Germany (Hubertusallee 30). From 1892 on, an area of imposing residences developed around it, and in 1924 the football stadium (Stadion am Zoo) was built (Hubertusallee 4). The massive Sonnborn railway viaduct to the north of the stadium is the only structure that passes over the suspension railway.

09 robert-daum-platz Wuppertal has one of Germany’s largest ar-eas of residences listed as historic buildings, namely the Briller Viertel, to the north of the monorail station. Those who once lived here include the poet Else Lasker-Schüler, the chemist Carl Duisberg, the conductor Hans Knappertsbusch and the former president of the Federal Republic of Germany Johannes Rau. Further east is the Ölberg with its listed apartment blocks, one of the city’s fashion-able areas. At the foot of this hill are Luisen-straße and Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, a popular area for its restaurants, bars and shopping facilities around the church of St. Lawrence (Laurentiuskirche), built in the neo-classical style (1828-35).

07 westende Westende is one of a number of stations whose original structure was pulled down to be replaced by a modern steel and glass con-struction designed by the architects Jaspert + Seffens in Cologne. This station is primarily the stop for the Bayer plant. Nearby is Elber-feld’s thermal power station, whose 198-me-tre chimney is Wuppertal’s tallest structure.

08 pestalozzistrasse Arrenberg, once a working-class district, has for a number of years been developing into a popular and fashionable area. Its core is the former hospital (Sauerbruch-Klinik), part of which has been turned into residential accom-modation known as the Arrenberg’sche Höfe. Some of the planned conversions to other uses of the factory buildings in Moritzstraße, where once the German company Elba pro-duced ring binders, have already been com-pleted.

13 landgerichtThe station Landgericht is modelled on the local (i.e. “bergisch”) style of half-timbered buildings. In order to meet modern require-ments (including lifts), the old art nouveau structure was replaced by a new one that preserved the original design. Its visual effect is enhanced by the imposing façade of the Landgericht, one of the oldest law court build-ings in Germany (1848–1854, Eiland 1).

15 loher brücke/junior uniThe station Loher Brücke offers the quickest access to the Junior Uni, an educational insti-tution for children and young people that is unique in Germany (Am Brögel 31).

02 bruch You could almost serve coffee and cake, so close does the monorail run to the houses in the Kaiserstraße. The suspension railway started running in 1901, but many of the build-ings on the street are from a later date. Their inhabitants have found a way of getting along with Wuppertal’s poltergeist.

04 sonnborner strasse At the main church in Sonnborn (1922-26) the supports and rail make a turn over the wide road junction and take the suspension railway to the banks of the Wupper.

06 varresbecker strasseIn 1863 Friedrich Bayer senior founded his paint factory in Wuppertal Heckinghausen. Three years later he moved the headquarters to Elberfeld. This plant, which covers a large area below the suspension monorail, is where the worldwide company Bayer originated.

10 ohligsmühle/stadthalleThe high-rise savings bank (Sparkasse) tow-ers above the station Ohligsmühle, a modern construction built in 1982. Higher up on the Jo-hannisberg stands the Historische Stadthalle, a magnificent concert hall much-praised for its acoustics and dating from 1900. The ad-jacent public indoor swimming pool reflects the architectural style of the 50s and is known as the Schwimmoper (swimming opera). This name stems from the fact that the people of Elberfeld wanted their own highlight when the opera house, which had been destroyed in the war, was rebuilt in Barmen.

12 kluseThe trains run close to a former factory, the Baumsche Fabrik, a reminder of the times when Germany’s biggest trading centre for textiles was here on the Hofaue. At that time, postcards that were simply addressed “Ho-faue” could be relied on to reach their address-ee. The next station is Kluse, a modern steel and glass construction built in 1999.

14 völklinger strasse As in the case of Landgericht, this is a recon-struction of the original station design.

16 adlerbrücke/opernhausThe opera house, built in 1905, was destroyed in the war and rebuilt between 1954 and 1965. It is the main venue for performances by the theatre company (Wuppertaler Bühnen), to which the world-famous Dance Theatre (Tan-ztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch) belongs (Kurt-Drees-Straße 4). The Historical Centre (Historisches Zentrum) next door incorpo-rates a residence owned by the family of Frie-drich Engels and the Museum of Early Indus-trialization (Engelsstraße 10). The train station in Barmen, whose former entrance hall is used as an event location, completes this group of cultural heritage buildings. In 2014 a new small theatre was added, the “Theater am En-gelsgarten”.

11 wuppertal hbf/döppersbergFurther to the east, the train passes through a large arch into the Köbo-Haus. This is where Elberfeld’s pedestrianized area begins, with its ornate “Fountain of Neptune” (Neptun-brunnen) in front of the former town hall of Elberfeld (1900, Neumarkt 10) and the Von der Heydt-Museum, highly-regarded far and wide (Turmhof 8). Döppersberg, to the south of the monorail station, is where Wuppertal’s main train station and a former administra-tion building of the German railway system are to be found (Bahnhofstraße). This whole area is currently being redeveloped into a new gateway to the city. Regularly updated infor-mation on the progress of the redevelopment can be found on www.doeppersberg.de.

19 wupperfeld The architectural landmark here is the onion dome of the old church in Wupperfeld (Alte Kirche Wupperfeld, 1779–85, Bredde 69). Not far away is the Immanuelskirche (1867–69), which has excellent acoustics and is highly re-garded as a concert venue (Von-Eynern-Straße 73).

18 werther brücke Here too, the striking art nouveau station has been replaced by one modelled on the original building. This station provides the quickest ac-cess to the former hall of fame (Ruhmeshalle, 1900), now known as the Haus der Jugend (Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 4–6). This building houses a concert venue and the Kunsthalle, a branch of the Von der Heydt Museum.

20 oberbarmen/berliner platzThe terminus at the eastern end of the suspen-sion monorail also has a large depot where the trains remain overnight.

17 alter marktThe Alter Markt is the gateway to the pedes-trianized area in Barmen, where Wuppertal’s town hall (1908-21) is situated (Johannes-Rau-Platz). The former public indoor swimming pool (1881/82) behind the town hall is now the Wuppertaler Brauhaus (brewery) and one of Barmen’s most popular places to eat and drink.

dates in history

From around 955 existence of a fortified set-tlement Burg ElberfeldAround 1070 Barmen mentioned for the first time in historical documents.1298 Crosiers (Brethren of the Holy Cross) found a monastery in Beyenburg.1527 the Duke of Berg grants the bleachers in the valley of the Wupper the sole right to make linen yarn out of flax. They thus have a monopoly that guarantees them an unparal-leled rise to economic prosperity. This right is the basis for the later development of the val-ley of the Wupper into a centre for the textile industry. 1610 Elberfeld is granted a town charter. 19th century The growth of the textile indus-try brings to the valley of the Wupper unprec-edented economic growth. Road and railway networks are built.1808 Barmen is given the status of a town. 1815 The Grand Duchy of Berg becomes part

of Prussia. 1863 Friedrich Bayer and Johann Friedrich Weskott found the Bayer factory in Hecking-hausen.1900 Kaiser Wilhelm II visits the towns on the Wupper. 1901 Following test runs in the preceding years, the suspension monorail is opened on March 1st.1929 In order to simplify administration tasks and reduce costs, the communities along the Wupper are united to form a large town (Au-gust 1st). The town is given the name Wupper-tal in 1930.

The water power of the Wupper was in every respect the formative element for the town. It is the basis of Wuppertal’s unique industrial history, it cut valleys into the hills, and water has made Wuppertal refreshingly greener than almost every other large town in Germa-ny. Open spaces alternate with narrow parts, height with depth, tranquillity with bustle,

and village character with city flair.

The many inherent contrasts have created contradictions that constitute the town’s spe-cial charm, which never fails to fascinate its visitors. Travelling on the monorail offers im-mediate entry to this world. Those who wish to stay longer can use one of the innumerable flights of steps for which Wuppertal is well-known in order to climb up from the valley of the Wupper to the higher parts and visit fur-ther attractions that the town has to offer.

culture

theatres and concert hallsElberfeld’s Historische Stadthalle (1900) on the Johannisberg with its excellent acoustics and grandiose architectural décor is one of the foremost concert halls in the world and the main venue for concerts given by the Wup-pertal Symphony Orchestra. The venue for plays, operas and theatre dance is the opera

The suspension monorail gives access to places in the valley, providing a convenient connection between Vohwinkel and Ober-barmen, but there are a number of attractive parts of Wuppertal some distance from the monorail. These are, first of all, Beyenburg and Langerfeld, which look back on very dif-ferent traditions. Langerfeld was a centre of ribbon making. The firm Kafka still produces some of its ribbons on historical looms and using traditional patterns, and it offers guid-ed tours to explain the techniques of the trade (Öhder Str. 47–49, bus 616, 626 from the station Oberbarmen). Beyenburg, how-ever, developed from 1296 around a mon-astery of the Crosiers (Brethren of the Holy Cross). Today, the Gothic monastery church

is reflected in the waters of an artificial lake that is used for water sports (Beyenburger Freiheit, bus 616, 626 from the station Ober-barmen). Ronsdorf and Cronenberg are parts of Wuppertal on the southern uplands above the valley of the Wupper. Whereas Cronenberg was a centre for the production of tools as early as the Middle Ages and has half-timbered buildings and water-powered drop forges and grindstones that bear wit-ness to this long tradition, Ronsdorf was not founded until the 18th century. Its nucleus was the settlement of a sect called the Elle-rianer, which formed around Elias Eller and his wife Anne von Büchel. Bus routes to Ron-sdorf 636, 646 and 666; to Cronenberg 64, 65 and 625.

science, the economy and research

No matter whether woodchip paper, Aspirin or Kobold vacuum cleaner – Wuppertal firms have established makes and products that are regarded as leaders on the world market. The typical feature of industry in Wuppertal is the number of strong medium-sized busi-nesses renowned for reliability and innova-tion. Whereas market leaders such as Bayer and Vorwerk can look back on a long tradition, there are newcomers such as Riedel which have achieved impressive success stories within just a few years. Wuppertal’s signifi-cance as a place of research and development is demonstrated by the energy agency (Ener-gieagentur NRW), Bayer’s research centre, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, and by its university, the Bergis-che Universität, which was founded in 1972 and now has eight faculties. The main univer-sity buildings, including the library and the re-

house in Barmen, built in 1905 and renovated 1954–56. Just a few minutes away on foot is a second venue for stage performances, the “Theater am Engelsgarten”.

relaxation and recreation

Woods and public green spaces constitute a third of Wuppertal’s urban area. The Hardt, situated on a hill overlooking Barmen and El-berfeld, is probably Wuppertal’s most popular park. With its sunbathing lawns, a café, a bar-becue area and an open-air stage, it is appre-ciated above all by sun-lovers. The Botanical Gardens, 1.5 hectares in size and at the foot of the Elisenturm (1838), is the central feature of the Hardt. On its perimeter stands the 22-met-

fectory, are on the Grifflenberg campus high above Elberfeld. Additional locations are the Freudenberg and Haspel campuses. In various ranking lists the university has been given ex-tremely good ratings in recent years.

facts about the town

The population of Wuppertal reached its high-est point of 423,000 in 1963. When Wupper-tal was formed in 1929, there were 415,000 inhabitants, and today there are almost 354,000. The town is divided into the ten dis-tricts of Vohwinkel, Elberfeld-West, Elberfeld, Uellendahl-Katernberg, Barmen, Oberbar-men, Heckinghausen, Langerfeld-Beyenburg, Ronsdorf and Cronenberg.

churches and cemeteries

In several of the ceme-teries there are graves with particularly fine examples of stonework from the 19th and ear-ly 20th century, for example the Unterbarmer Friedhof (Am Unterbarmer Friedhof, a 10-mi-nute walk from the monorail station Völklin-ger Straße) and the cemetery on the Norren-berg (Theodor-Fontane-Straße), a 15-minute walk from the monorail station Oberbarmen).

As a town of religious communities and chur-ches, Wuppertal is logically also a town of church towers. What are perhaps the finest are those with an onion dome, such as the Reformierte Kirche in Solinger Straße in the centre of Cronenberg (dome dating from 1776), the Alte lutherische Kirche am Kolk in Morianstraße in Elberfeld (1774) and the Alte Kirche Wupperfeld on the street Bredde in Wichlinghausen (1779–85). Other important churches include the neo-classical Church of St. Lawrence (Laurentiuskirche) on the Lau-rentiusplatz in Elberfeld, the CityKirche on the Kirchplatz and the Friedhofskirche in Hoch-straße, as well as the village church in Schöller and the monastery church in Beyenburg.

The Gemarker Kirche in Zwinglistraße has special historical significance, as this is whe-re the “Barmer Theologische Erklärung” was drawn up in 1934. Right next door is the syna-gogue (Bergische Synagoge), opened in 2002. The mosque on the street Gathe in Elberfeld and the Buddhist stupa on Heinkelstraße in Unterbarmen are reminders that other reli-gious communities also play an active part in Wuppertal’s cultural life.
