Wipperfurth

Built around a medieval market settlement on the upper Wupper, Wipperfürth grew into the oldest town in the Bergisches Land. It received town privileges in 1222, a milestone reflected in the compact historic centre around Marktplatz. Wipperfürth belongs to the Oberbergischer Kreis, where the rolling terrain of the Bergisches Land is defined by woodland, streams and scattered hamlets rather than a continuous urban corridor. The Wupper flows north from here towards Wuppertal and eventually the Rhine. St. Nikolaus parish church remains a prominent feature of the town centre.
