The Wuppertal-Wichlinghausen station was a junction of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the east of Wuppertal, in the northern part of Wuppertal - Oberbarmen , and can be reached from Langobardenstraße.
history
On September 15, 1879, the station was opened under the name Ober-Barmen Rh and belonged to the then independent municipality of Barmen. It was not until 1897 that the station was given the district name Wichlinghausen , which means it was called Barmen-Wichlinghausen . It was not until 1929 that the municipalities and cities of Vohwinkel , Elberfeld and Barmen , Ronsdorf and Cronenberg and their associated districts were amalgamated to form today's city of Wuppertal that the station received its current name. The station was closed to passenger traffic on September 27, 1991, almost 112 years after it opened . The goods traffic was then operated from the Wuppertal-Langerfeld freight yard until the station was completely closed in 1995 . Since then, no train has been running there, the relics of the rails are cordoned off at the bridge approaches and on the former northern route .
It was not until January 2014 that the fallow land was put to good use again. In cooperation between the city of Wuppertal and the local sports scene, the neighboring school center east, the sports science department of the Bergische Universität and the parkour expert Sebastian Gies , Germany's largest outdoor parkour facility, the Parkour Plateau , was built for 370,000 euros .
traffic
Up to the 1970s, up to three train lines operated, of which at last only the northern line was served, which was closed east of Mettmann in autumn 1991 . The train routes led to Wuppertal , Düsseldorf , the Ennepe-Ruhr district and partly to the Ruhr area .
