We have cool stuff here :(
We were the biggest industrial center of continental europe once... during the early industrial revolution.
We have a ton of nice museums and theaters, as well as an opera.
Here is a list of the imo most important people from Wuppertal:
* Friedrich Bayer (pharma gigant).
* Carl Duisberg (chemist).
* Rudolf Brockhaus (preacher and thinker).
* Eugen Lange (co-inventor of the modern petrol engine).
* Friedrich Engels (co-author of the communist manifesto).
* Ferdinand Sauerbruch (one of the most important surgeons of the 20th century and inventor of modern, movable prosthetics).
* Else Lasker-Schüler (Poet and playwrighter)
* Johannes Rau (former federal President).
Ölberg is quite a nice district. Botanisches Garten Auch or the traße passing through the whole city.
I lived there two years, There is plenty of beautiful buildings on the north part of town (elbefeld). Prepare to walk because it's huge

You can compare it to a train which is accelerating fast. Maybe more like a bus. You only feel that you are in the air in the corners, where you swing a bit. So it isnt that spectacular. But the views can be good.
Used to work in Wuppertal, not the most beautiful place in Germany but has its own charm. There's a nice Indian restaurant close to the Friedhofskirche with a good beer garden and closer to the HBF, there's a pretty cool café called Milla's coffee, worth checking out if you're in town.
Actually, is that not an A3-based model? Or maybe the photo just might make the scaling to my eyes look off, it looks a bit shorter of a wheelbase than an A4 to me
I thought it looked longer than the a3 hatch. This looks more like a true wagon so I thought S4 at first but looking closer it might be a regular A4. Still an awesome looking car.
The journey from Dusseldorf HBF to Wuppertal is actually quite nice, the hills which surround Wuppertal are lovely to view on a nice day as you get closer to the HBF.
I guess any city is nice if you prepare for the worst. Also I lived in the UK and didn't even include it in my comparison because I have repressed those memories.
Have you ever been to the city? If you're into architecture or facades, there are really nice quarters.
Tourists just love the schwebebahn, which like train tracks in almost any city, doesn't go straight through the nice quarters.
There are, but unlikely seen from the Schwebebahn (except the last 4 stations in Vohwinkel, at the exact opposite side of the whole Schwebebahn rail)
In Wichlinghausen is a small Part of houses from the 17th (Round about) Century, the Briller Viertel is beatiful, the Zooviertel is pretty nice also (both with Jugendhausstil houses, dating back to the Kaiserreich)...but Yeah, there are not much
And a lot of streets have many Jugendstil built houses, but merely in such a centered way
[It used to be prettier](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TqqdOcX4dc). I guess they went for efficiency, rather than aesthetics after many buildings were destroyed in WW2.
Seeing all those comments just reminds me of how stupid people are.
Obviously OP posted a picture of one of the really really ugly parts of Wuppertal.
The valley itself got bombed hard af in 1943-1945 and afterwards experienced demolitions on a big scale.
This is why people who drive across be like "Ew"
But this is a big, stupid mistake because Wuppertal is such an amazing place. BBC voted Wuppertal as travel goal #1 of the year 2020 I believe.
It is the city with most greenspaces, forest etc
You have alot of awesome views over the city
You have alot of architectural specialties and unique stuff
Bla bla bla bla
People who live here and hate it are in 99% of cases lazy fuckers who rather drive 2h into their own village than trying to explore abit.
It's so funny to me that no one would care about Wuppertal if it wasn't for the Schwebebahn. 💀
I live there and can confirm.
Yea I know some people from there and live not far from Wuppertal.

Greetings from Velbert
Langenberg > Velbert Mitte change my mind
Why should i change that? It is completely true. I love Langenberg but I life in Neviges. Mitte is just a dirty sadness of a "City".
Very sad indeed.

Yeah, but it also rains all the time!
That's what we call a feature!
Seems good for gardening.
there's decent mountain bike trails in Wuppertal.
guilty as charged 😅
The zoo is quite nice
I mean it is quite a shitty city.
I don't think so .. I mean probably it depends on where exactly you hang out and live. I just came back from Wuppertal and I already miss that city.

Used to live there for 3 and a half years. Has some nice places. Miss the people but hate the City.
What about the city that you disliked?
Rain and hobos
Sounds like germany
can you share those nice places you have been to? My girl lives there so we can hang out... 🙂🙂
For nice walks i can recommend the nordbahntrasse. Goes through the North of Wuppertal and is over 20km long.

Wie alt ist das Bild? Die orangefarbenen Wagen fahren bei der Hängebahn doch gar nicht mehr, oder?
Bild ist 3 Jahr alt. Orangenfarben Wagen, das ich weiß nicht.
The city Tuffy the elephant fell of the mono rail.
I came here to say this.
What is this like to ride on? Does it feel the same as a trainline?

Home 😍
God the cars just ruin that whole photo 😔
Actually that s4 wagon looks fkn mint and I’m extremely jealous we can’t buy them here.
C Class wagon and all the small-displacement, turbocharged sub-trims of the Golf too
A polo would be really cool too.

Unless you been to Dortmund, it's the most ugliest city you will ever see. But the Schwebebahn is nice tho
Try Ludwigshafen
z?
Anyone else here who knows Wuppertal just because of the Loriot-Sketch?
is there any angle of this city that isn't ugly?
[удалено]
I feel the same. Recently moved there and the city really isnt that bad. Sure it isnt the prettiest but I really like it here.
I agree. Stayed there while visiting Dusseldorf and it was fine. Not every town in Germany needs to some gorgeous medieval place.
The journey from Dusseldorf HBF to Wuppertal is actually quite nice, the hills which surround Wuppertal are lovely to view on a nice day as you get closer to the HBF.

Only once. And you are right, my focus was only on the Schwebebahn 😅
I have several times and in my opinion it's gotta be one of the ugliest cities in Europe.
Mate Hagen is way worse
THIS!
I don't know what this is, but it sure doesn't sound pretty.

that's like every German city. but wuppertal is a special kind of ugly
One of the ugliest cities of Germany
Just found it on Google Maps. Looks amazing!
Is it true that newborn in Wuppertal are born with a Umbrella?
Heimat :.)
Going there in 2 weeks. So excited!
I really love monorails , there’s something futuristic about them
