The Johannisberg is an approximately 172 meter high elevation in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the urban area of Wuppertal .
topography
The Johannisberg is located in the central downtown area of the Elberfeld district . The Düsseldorf – Elberfeld railway line , on which the Steinbeck train station is located, runs on the northern side . Further to the south joins the Südstadt , which lies at the foot of the Grifflenberg and Osterberg . In the north, the Wupper and Bundesstraße 7 (B 7) run at the foot of the Johannisberg . Originally the Johannisberg also had a gradient in the upper part; In the 19th century, the present form of a plateau was created there by the backfilling of earth and rock that had accumulated in the immediate vicinity during the construction of the railway line.
Development
In the 19th century, the Elberfeld location was An der Windfoche on the Johannisberg. This was replaced by Abraham Küpper's large entertainment venue Johannisberg .
The elevation is completely built up, except for the park areas of the buildings. The Johannisberg is known for the Wuppertal town hall , which was built in 1895 and whose official name is also "Historical town hall on Johannisberg" .
