Location of Hammerstein in Wuppertal

Hammerstein's location in the Vohwinkel district of Wuppertal goes back to the Hammerstein manor . This mansion was located on the Sonnborn Wupperbogen and is the namesake of the Villa Hammerstein on Hammersteiner Allee, which was later built around 1825 . At the turn of the century, the location developed into a handsome residential area of ​​Vohwinkel.

A nearby suspension railway station was also named after the manor.

Industry

Below the Villa Hammerstein , the weaving mill and “ cotton mill Hammerstein ” of the merchant Johann Christian Jung was built on the Wupper from 1835 to 1837 . The cotton spinning mill was one of the most important companies of its kind in the Rhineland . In addition to the six-story factory building , for which the architect Christian Heyden has been proven, the area in the villa's landscaped park consisted of a workers' house and a factory school. The production building was 46 meters long, 15.5 meters deep and 20.5 meters high. In 1938, 20 families who came from Kirchen as guest workers lived in the workers' house , where the Jung family had been running the Jungenthal spinning mill since 1799.

Friedrich August Jung runs the company around 1850 and is described by Levin Schücking in the work “ Railway journey from Minden to Cologne ”, published in 1856 , here is also a passage to a paragraph through the Wupper valley. For him, the industrial cities of Barmen and Elberfeld are in one ...:

“ ... area that is covered in a most attractive mixture of gardens and meadows, shimmering country estates, settlements of factory workers, industrial plants from small mills to huge spindle barracks and loom palaces, bridges and brightly colored dye works and bleaching plants and is picturesque. "

With “Spindelkaserne” and “Loom palace” Schücking could only have meant the Hammersteiner cotton spinning mill, since at the time of 1860 there were no other comparable large factory buildings in the valley of the Wupper. By this time the company had 20,000 fine spindles and 100 looms in operation, processing 600,000 pounds of yarn.

In 1869 the FA Jung cotton spinning mill in Hammerstein was closed.

Around the time before 1895, the factory was known as the “ Cloth Factory von Herminghaus und Co. ”. Another location of Herminghaus and Co. was on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße , where the building complex is known as the “ Zanella ” feed factory.

Today Herminghaus & Co. GmbH exists as a company for house and property management. At the beginning of the 1970s, part of the motorway bridges of the Sonnborner Kreuz were built over the site .
