Velbert

Velbert sits between the Ruhr and Wupper rivers in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the wooded hills of the Bergisches Land meet the Ruhr’s industrial hinterland. The city developed as a major centre of Germany’s lock and fittings trade, a legacy explored at the German Lock and Fittings Museum. In the Neviges district, the angular concrete Mariendom pilgrimage church, designed by Gottfried Böhm and completed in 1968, is a landmark of post-war German architecture. Historic Langenberg adds old town streets and a long-established cultural scene to Velbert’s wider urban area.
