Nordstadt (Elberfeld)
The Elberfelder Nordstadt is a not exactly defined city district of the formerly independent municipality Elberfeld , which today belongs to Wuppertal .
The area includes, among other things, the parts that can be found from 1975 in the statistical residential quarter Nordstadt in the Elberfeld district , i.e. the urban areas north of the Elberfeld center. The area is limited to the west by Briller Straße and to the east by Straße Gathe. The southern part of the northern city is sometimes colloquially called the Mount of Olives .
On the Elberfeld von Grothaus city map from 1849, the area between Briller Strasse and Hochstrasse was simply called "Section D" and was largely undeveloped. After the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) the corridors were opened up. The construction of the Marienstraße, a central street in west-east direction, took place between 1872 and 1878. After the intervention of the North City Citizens' Association at the Elberfeld City Council, approval was granted in July 1885, also in the north of the city upper classes at today's Realschule Neue Friedrichstrasse to be set up.
