Development
The old factory building of the STOCKO metal goods factories on Kirchhofstrasse can already be seen from the Sonnborner Kreuz. This work was sold to the Japanese Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha (YKK) in 1994 and has been trading as STOCKO Fasteners GmbH since then.
Located directly at the highest point of the survey, two historic homes in the cemetery road , they were from the Grand Street corridor in Barmen here translocated . They are registered as an architectural monument in the list of monuments of the city of Wuppertal.
The old and the new Protestant cemetery are also located on Kirchhofstrasse .
In addition to the steep western flank of the elevation, which is not suitable for building, the upper mountain top is largely forested and a beekeeper has set up beehives in a small clearing. At the highest point of the elevation is the castle stable of the Wallburg in Sonnborn .
traffic
Local transport
Sonnborn lies on the Wuppertal valley axis. Seen from the Vohwinkel , the Sonnborner Straße station is the fourth. The Wuppertal-Sonnborn stop on the Düsseldorf – Elberfeld railway line has existed since 1878, and has been a pure S-Bahn stop since 1988, from which other parts of Wuppertal and the cities of Essen , Düsseldorf , Mönchengladbach and Hagen can be reached. The Wuppertal-Sonnborn stop is served by lines S 8 and S 9 of the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn .
Road traffic
What is remarkable about Sonnborn's location is the fact that the Sonnborner Kreuz motorway junction was built in the middle of the town center in the late 1960s. For this project, almost half of Sonnborn was cleared and numerous, partly historic buildings demolished, including even the old Catholic church, which was rebuilt elsewhere in the style of the 1970s. Today the federal autobahn 46 intersects with the A 535 , state road 418 and state road 74 . After the completion of the motorway junction in Sonnborn in 1974, it was celebrated as the largest and most modern motorway junction in Europe .
