Wuppertal

The landscape around Wuppertal is a steep, wooded valley formed by the Wupper River, which has shaped both the city’s linear form and its industrial economy. The city developed from several settlements in the Bergisches Land, with textile production and manufacturing playing major roles in its growth. Its defining landmark is the Wuppertal Suspension Railway, an elevated monorail opened in 1901 that follows the river valley and remains part of daily public transport. Wuppertal is also closely associated with choreographer Pina Bausch and the internationally known Tanztheater Wuppertal.
