The Kaltenbach is a 2.25 kilometer long tributary of the Wupper on the edge of the Burgholz state forest in the Wuppertal district of Cronenberg .
Location and description
The Kaltenbach rises at 231 m above sea level. NN near the Cronenberger center and flows after 2.2 km at 110 m above sea level. NN in the Wupper. There are numerous reservoirs by the stream, which dammed up the water to drive a water-powered hammer mill , three grinding bowls and two fruit mills , including the Friedrichshammer , the Kaltenbacher hammer and the Manuelskotten, which is used as an industrial museum .
The Manuelskotten , also known as the Kaltenbacher Kotten , is the only still functional Schleifkotten in the Wuppertal city area. The restored plant has belonged to the city of Wuppertal since 1993 and serves as an industrial museum to demonstrate the old craft of grinding. At the same time, cutter knives are still industrially manufactured in the plant for a Remscheid-based tool company , so that the craft shown is by no means just museum-like.
The route of the Bergisches Trammuseum museum route also runs in the Kaltenbachtal . A 3.2 km long section of the former tram route from Elberfeld to Solingen, which runs through the forest, was acquired by the museum association and will be used by historic trams on the weekend between Cronenberg- Greuel and Cronenberg- Kohlfurtherbrücke . The association keeps the extensive collection of vehicles in its halls in Kohlfurth, where the tram once crossed the Wupper on the now listed Kohlfurther Bridge .
