In the graceful setting of Elberfeld’s former town hall, the Von der Heydt Museum is one of the most esteemed art museums in Germany. The museum was founded in 1902 and was funded early on by Elberfeld’s wealthy bourgeoisie families, including the von der Heydts for whom the attraction is named. The oldest pieces are 17th-century Dutch and Flemish ...
There’s no visiting Wuppertal without a ride on the city’s suspension railway, which remains a regular means of transport and a huge source of affection more than a century after it was built. Created by the engineer and entrepreneur Eugen Langen, it is the world’s oldest electric elevated railway with suspended carriages. The line is ridden by ove...
An integral part of any sightseeing tour of the city is this concert hall on a green hill just up from the Hauptbahnhof. Completed in 1900, it was a result of the boom enjoyed by Elberfeld in the late-19th century and is a classic Wilhemine Neo-Renaissance building. Whether there’s a trade fair, congress or chamber music concert in the city, the St...

In Barmen two former industrial buildings house a museum about the early days of industrialisation in the region in the first half of the 1800s. At that time the main trade in the Wupper Valley was textile manufacturing, and the museum has a great deal of machinery from the period like power looms and spinners. There was also a metalworking industr...
Part of the same complex as is a museum for the co-author of the Communist manifesto Friedrich Engels, who was born in Barmen. It is one of five local houses that were owned by the wealthy Engels family. Although the Engels-Haus isn’t his birthplace – this was destroyed in the Second World War – Engels grew up here in the 1820s and the house has co...
East of the centre of Elberfeld, the Hardt-Anlage can best be described as a city quarter completely covered in woodland and meadows on the high right bank of the Wupper. There are six individual parks here, including the botanical garden, which we’ll talk about next. The former site of the botanical garden is the Rosengarten on the northern edge o...
The city’s botanical garden was founded in 1890, and in 1910 moved to the former grounds of the Ellerschen Villa, once belonging to 19th-century textile magnates.
