Upper Angertal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The upper Angertal is a landscape in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was sacrificed for limestone mining in the 1940s and used as a sediment basin for the Wülfrath limestone works. Since it was only possible to produce for personal use on the barren and steep valley slopes, the industrialization of the Bergisches Land began here . Today there is a renatured landscape for leisure and sport. The valley is named after the Angerbach , which rises in Velbert and flows into the Rhine in Duisburg .
