The Wuppermarkt, established in 1996, is the center for local supplies for the resident population. It consists of an ensemble of retail outlets that have been equipped with a spacious parking lot. The Wuppermarkt was located on the site of the former Schürmann and Schröder textile factory in order to counteract any further deterioration of the structures. In April 2004 structural engineers came to the conclusion that a small part of the factory system could no longer be saved after a fire, so partial demolition was considered. The building was demolished in autumn 2010. This is the building directly on the Wupper, to be seen in the picture below on the left.
