The districts and districts ( residential quarters ) of Wuppertal are municipal statistical members in the urban area of ​​the largest city in the Bergisches Land in North Rhine-Westphalia .

City of Wuppertal

The city of Wuppertal was founded under the name Barmen-Elberfeld on August 1, 1929 as a result of the law on the municipal reorganization of the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial area as a merger of Elberfeld and Barmen , both major cities since the mid-1880s , as well as the surrounding cities of Vohwinkel , Cronenberg , Ronsdorf and the Beyenburg / Herbringhausen areas of the Lüttringhausen community, which was dissolved in the same year . On January 24, 1930, the city was renamed Wuppertal after a referendum. When it was founded, the city had a population of approximately 415,000. Today's structure is based to a large extent on the historical development of the individual districts since the Middle Ages.

Predecessor cities and communities and their communal development since the Middle Ages

Geographical area of ​​today's urban area

The amalgamation of Elberfeld and Barmen was obvious, as both already formed a continuous ribbon town in the Wupper - Schwelme - Mulde in the 19th century , which formed an almost closed unit in terms of settlement and along the valley axis since the middle of the 19th century by two railway lines and since 1901 by the Wuppertal suspension railway and road-bound axial traffic routes.

As a western extension of the valley axis, Vohwinkel joined this closed settlement area seamlessly, was also located on these important axial main traffic routes and was at the same time the end point of the suspension railway. An additional expansion of the urban area beyond the Wupper valley was feasible due to historical connections, especially in the south of the Wuppertal, so that the neighboring southern cities and areas of Cronenberg, Ronsdorf and Beyenburg were used to achieve the necessary size for the founding of the city of Wuppertal.

Middle Ages to modern times

Historically, the individual cities, communities and districts have had a long, mostly closely intertwined history since the Middle Ages. Elberfeld with its subsidiary centers Katernberg and Uellendahl belonged to the Office Elberfeld in the Duchy of Berg since 1428 , Vohwinkel and the Sonnborn to the east of it belonged to the Bergisch Office Solingen since 1363 at the latest . Barmen with its secondary centers in Wichlinghausen and Heckinghausen formed part of the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg from 1399 together with Ronsdorf and Beyenburg .

While Elberfeld, first mentioned around 1160, was named a city in 1610, Barmen, first mentioned in 1070, remained without city ​​rights until 1808 . The other cities and districts are also documented in the Middle Ages . Sonnborn around 874 (independent mayor's office from 1867 to 1888), Cronenberg around 1050 (town charter since 1808), Beyenburger localities about 1189 and the town center about 1298, Vohwinkel about 1356 (town charter since 1921), Langerfeld about 1304, Ronsdorf is with his first Mentioned from 1494 still relatively young, but already obtained city rights in 1745. Most of the other individual locations in Wuppertal have their own first documented mentions from the 11th to 16th centuries.

Schöller , which was incorporated in 1975 , formed its own rule in the duchy under the office of Solingen. The villages and localities Dönberg , Kleinehöhe and Obensiebeneick , which were incorporated at the same time , were also part of the rule of Hardenberg in the Middle Ages and modern times under Berg suzerainty.

The present-day eastern districts of Langerfeld and Nachbarebreck , on the other hand, were part of the County of Mark in the weather department and were never under Bergisch administration.

Period of French occupation

Only with the conquest of the Duchy of Berg and the County of Mark by Napoléon Bonaparte did this communal assignment fundamentally change from 1806 onwards. Elberfeld ( Canton Elberfeld), Barmen (Canton Barmen), Cronenberg, Ronsdorf (both Canton Ronsdorf ), Beyenburg, Herbringhausen (both Canton Lennep ), Vohwinkel and Sonnborn became part of the Elberfeld arrondissement in the Rhine department . Dornap ( Mairie Wülfrath in the canton of Velbert ), Dönberg, Kleinehöhe, Obensiebeneick (all Mairie Hardenberg in the canton of Velbert) and Schöller (Mairie Haan in the canton of Mettmann ) were also located in the Département Rhine, but located in the arrondissement of Düsseldorf .

Langerfeld, Nachbarebreck and the local situation Einern were part of the Mairie Haßlinghausen in the Hagen arrondissement in the Ruhr department . Both departments were under the Grand Duchy of Berg founded by Napoléon .

Prussian Rhine Province and Westphalia

After the Grand Duchy of Berg was liberated from French occupation after Napoleon's defeat in the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and the areas on the left and right of the Rhine were assigned to Prussia in the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the following year it founded the province of Jülich-Kleve to succeed the old Duchy of Berg . Berg , part of the later Rhine province , and introduced its municipal administrative structure there.

Elberfeld and Barmen thus formed the newly founded district of Elberfeld in 1816 , Sonnborn (with its part of the municipality Vohwinkel) and Schöller came into the also newly founded district of Mettmann . In 1820 Cronenberg moved from the district of Solingen to the district of Mettmann, which was dissolved on November 1st, 1820. Sonnborn (with Vohwinkel), Schöller and Cronenberg now came to the Elberfeld district. This existed until June 1, 1861, when Barmen and Elberfeld were ruled out as independent cities and the remaining district was renamed again in Mettmann district. The seat of the district of Mettmann was Sonnborn, which in 1867 became an independent mayor, now independent of Haan. In 1888 Vohwinkel was spun off from Sonnborn and became an independent rural community, in 1921 it was granted city rights. Sonnborn also lost its communal independence in 1888 and was incorporated into Elberfeld. The city of Ronsdorf and the former Bergische Freiheit Beyenburg as part of the municipality of Lüttringhausen were assigned to the Lennep district in 1816 , where both remained until the city of Wuppertal was founded in 1929.

The Westphalian rural community Langerfeld was in the Prussian province of Westphalia and remained in the Schwelm district until 1922 . Against great resistance from the population, it was incorporated into Barmen that year together with Next Breck and thus became part of the Rhine . With this communal change, the more than a thousand year old border between the Rhineland and Westphalia, east of Barmen, shifted several kilometers to the east.

The city was founded in 1929

When the city of Barmen-Elberfeld , later Wuppertal, was founded on August 1, 1929, the city districts of Elberfeld and Barmen formed its core. At the same time, in the west and southwest, Vohwinkel and Cronenberg came to the city from the Mettmann district, which was dissolved at the same time, but Schöller and Dornap remained as part of Haan and Wülfrath in the remainder of the district, which was combined with other communities to form the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district. In the south, Ronsdorf and Beyenburg came from the Lennep district to Wuppertal.

Extensions through the territorial reform of the 1970s

The extensive regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia in the 1970s brought Wuppertal a significant increase in area. In 1970, the city area was expanded to the east by the law on the reorganization of the Ennepe-Ruhr district of December 16, 1969 to include parts of the previously independent municipalities of Haßlinghausen and Linderhausen as well as some parcels of the town of Schwelm , and since then in Oberbarmen it extends east to the A1 . Through the law on the reorganization of the communities and districts of the reorganization area Mönchengladbach / Düsseldorf / Wuppertal of September 10, 1974 ( Düsseldorf Law ) , the community of Schöller and the district of Dornap von Wülfrath were added in the west in 1975 , as well as Dönberg, Kleinehöhe and Obensiebeneick von Neviges in the north and northwest.

City structure

City structure before 1975

Until 1975 the city was divided into the six districts of Barmen, Elberfeld, Vohwinkel, Cronenberg, Ronsdorf and Beyenburg. The first five districts corresponded to the area of ​​these cities as of 1929 before the unification to Wuppertal, the sixth included the area that came from Lüttringhausen to Wuppertal that year .

These districts were subdivided into city districts.

The present city districts of Wuppertal

When the municipal code of North Rhine-Westphalia made it mandatory to subdivide larger cities into roughly equally strong and numbered statistical city districts, the urban area of Wuppertal was initially divided into eight city districts on May 4, 1975: Vohwinkel, Elberfeld, Barmen, Oberbarmen, Langerfeld, Uellendahl, Cronenberg and Ronsdorf. On September 30, 1979 there was a new subdivision (or renaming) into the ten districts that still exist today (2017). Each city district has its own district council . The chairman of the district council is the district chairman or district mayor .

The subdivision of the city was roughly based on historical circumstances. Elberfeld and Barmen, however, were each too big to only correspond to a single city district, and were artificially divided. Elberfeld was divided into the districts of Elberfeld , Elberfeld-West and Uellendahl-Katernberg . Barmen was divided into Barmen , Oberbarmen and Heckinghausen .

The districts of Vohwinkel, Cronenberg and Ronsdorf, on the other hand, largely correspond to the area of ​​the older cities with slight deviations. Ronsdorf had to cede the Hammesberg area to the Heckinghausen district, Elberfeld the Hahnerberg area to the Cronenberg district. But the artificial territorial unit Langerfeld-Beyenburg was also created , the eponymous communities of which were neighboring, but historically for many centuries were in different political areas and until 1922 were always separated by a clearly perceptible cultural and political border. The city districts are further subdivided into statistical residential areas.

The budget security concept 2010-2014 of the city of Wuppertal provided for the number of district representatives to be reduced from ten to six by the 2012 local elections for cost reasons. Naturally, this would have resulted in a corresponding change in the subdivision of the city districts, but has not yet been implemented (2017).

The residential areas of Wuppertal (as of December 31, 2007)

The city districts are divided into a total of 69 quarters for statistical purposes. These are designated with a two-digit district number, whereby the first digit also represents the city district. They also have their own name, which has either been handed down historically (formerly independent communities or medieval settlement or court , for example Sonnborn , Herbringhausen or Clausen ), based on geographic conditions (flowing waters, elevations, for example Ehrenberg , Varresbeck or Hahnerberg ) or who has become naturalized in the course of time according to the development or the settlement of a certain facility (e.g. zoo , Industriestrasse or Kohlfurth ).

The different population density in the individual parts of Wuppertal means that densely populated districts close to the center are divided into smaller residential areas. In some cases, it was necessary to artificially divide urban districts that were too large, such as Wichlinghausen-Nord and Wichlinghausen-Süd or Uellendahl-Ost and Uellendahl-West , whereas districts located on the outskirts were often merged into a common statistical residential area, such as Schöller and Dornap to Schöller-Dornap or Erbschlö and Linde to Erbschlö-Linde . The demarcation between the statistical residential quarters was usually not based on the old and sometimes winding district boundaries, but preferred main roads, railway lines and watercourses.
