geography

Settlement in the Lüntenbeck district with Lüntenbeck Castle (right)

The 1.32 km² residential area is located in the west of Wuppertal. To the east of the residential area lies the Varresbeck district, which belongs to the Elberfeld-West district , and the route of the 535 federal motorway forms the border here. In the south are the residential areas Industriestraße and Tesche , the disused railway line Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd ("Wuppertaler Nordbahn") forms the border here. In the west and north the area adjoins the residential quarter Schöller-Dornap , the border in the west forms the Bahnstrasse ( Bundesstrasse 224 ) and to the north the Düsseldorfer Strasse ( Bundesstrasse 7 ) forms the district boundary .

The core of the settlement was formed around Lüntenbeck Castle .

Infrastructure

traffic

The Wuppertal-Lüntenbeck stop was operational in 1989

The disused railway line Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd ( Wuppertaler Nordbahn ) had a stopping point set up in 1952 under the name Wuppertal-Lüntenbeck in the residential area . From here, commuters and schoolchildren could use the railcars for a trip to the eastern parts of the city or to Vohwinkel. This stop was served until 1991. The former train station restaurant was converted into a community center by the settlers' association. The route has been part of a cycle path on the former railway line since 2013 and offers fast routes to Vohwinkel and Elberfeld.

Today the bus line 629 of the WSW connects Lüntenbeck, via the S-Bahn stop Wuppertal-Sonnborn and the suspension railway in Sonnborn with the Nützenberg . Due to the narrow road conditions, mainly midi buses of the type Mercedes-Benz Citaro K are used on the line .

Business

Lüntenbeck's main building

Of the former business infrastructure (including a grocery store, post office, bakery) only a hairdresser and a physiotherapy practice remain. A restaurant, a photo studio, a wine shop and various doctors are also attached to Lüntenbeck Castle.

Others

On the edge of the Lüntenbeck there is a football pitch with a restaurant where the FSV Vohwinkel plays its games. The Evangelical St. Mark's Church with a community center is located in the upper Lüntenbeck near the Oberst residential area . However, both houses were closed in September 2013 for financial reasons. There is now a dance school and event location in the former church. Furthermore, a kindergarten is run by the Arbeiterwohlfahrt in the neighborhood . There is also an allotment garden on the edge of the federal motorway 535 .

Recreation area

Renatured house rubble dump and northern railway line

Due to its location in the countryside, the Lüntenbeck district also serves as a local recreation area. The area around the settlement center is characterized by forests (Tescher Busch) and the parks of Lüntenbeck Castle with its three ponds. In addition, a former house rubble dump has been renatured and now offers an exposed vantage point over the city of Wuppertal. Lüntenbeck Castle particularly attracts visitors through events such as the nationally known Christmas market. In addition, the “Rund um Wuppertal” hiking trail, the Nordbahntrasse and the R1 cycle path of the city of Wuppertal lead through the district.
