history
1131 to the 14th century
The oldest written mention dates from 1131. In the Siegburger Mirakelbuch the place is already referred to as an oppidum (= city). Spelling of the first mention : Weperevorthe. Between 1217 and 1222 Wipperfürth received privileges (tax exemptions) from Archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne and, after 1225, city rights from Heinrich von Limburg , Count von Berg. Wipperfürth is therefore the oldest city in the Bergisches Land. The city was administered by Count Adolf V in 1283 . Wipperfürth had its own city court, and consultations took place at the Siegburg city court . After the distribution of offices in the Duchy of Berg , Wipperfürth-Land was administered by the Steinbach Office, which was also the seat of the courts for parishes outside the city. The city of Wipperfürth paid its taxes through the Steinbach office until 1770.
As early as 1275, King Rudolf von Habsburg allowed the Count to move his mint from Wildberg to Wipperfürth. Since then, pennies based on the Cologne model have been minted here. With the privilege of King Ludwig of Bavaria , the first groschen in Germany began to be minted in Wipperfürth in 1328 .
From the 14th century - membership in the Hanseatic League
The city had been a member of the Hanseatic League since the 14th century . The city's merchants are recorded in Stockholm , Dorpat , Malmö, Novgorod, Reval and Lübeck. The city coat of arms from 1267 shows a church in a crenellated wall. The coat of arms is based on the large town seal as it first appeared on a document from 1267, where it bears the inscription: S ( illigum ): BURGENSIUM: OPIDI: IN: WIPPERVURDE . In 1404, Wipperfürth was besieged by the people of Cologne and finally occupied, the houses of the town were set on fire by the former Krakenburg. The city wall , today's Klosterberg, also began at the Krakenburg , on the Klosterwall went past the trench to the Kölner Tor, continued to the Mahltor, from here further east between the Obergraben and the parish church, then south again to the Attendorner Tor . From there back to the monastery wall, this wall stands on the old city wall. Remnants of this city wall are still preserved on the Klosterberg and at the confluence between Untere Straße and Hochstraße (Ellers corner).
The oldest buildings in the city are the three-aisled Romanesque parish church of St. Nikolaus (around 1140) and the market fountain from 1331, which got its present form during the Renaissance . The city's development was hampered by numerous city fires: 1333; 1352; 1368; 1383; 1404; 1412; 1465 ( see also: Agathaberg ); 1511; 1585; 1795.
1806-1918
In 1806, the Duchy of Berg was ceded to Napoleon by the Bavarian King Maximilian I as Duke of Berg by way of exchange . The Grand Duchy of Berg came into being under the reign of his brother-in-law, Joachim Murat , and in 1808 Wipperfürth became the capital of a canton in the Elberfeld arrondissement of the Rhine department . The Congress of Vienna decided in 1815 to annex the Rhineland to Prussia . There were no changes with regard to the municipality and city limits . From then on, Wipperfürth belonged to the administrative district of Cologne as the district town of the Wipperfürth district and from 1822 to the Rhine province . District administrators in the new district were District Administrator Friedrich Wilhelm Schumacher (1816–1845), Julius Wiethaus (1845–1852) and Clemens Mersmann (1852–1855). There followed a dispute between the municipality of Lindlar and the city of Wipperfürth about where the seat of the new district should be located. This dispute was finally settled by the minister in 1896 .
On November 22nd, 1876, Wipperfürth got its first rail connection, from Remscheid - Lennep via Hückeswagen the Wippertalbahn ran to Wipperfürth. In 1902 this line was continued to Marienheide .
The first post bus connection in Wipperfürth was set up in 1899 to Lindlar . In 1908 there were again disputes with the community of Lindlar about the establishment of a winter school . The council of the municipality of Lindlar was of the opinion that Wipperfürth was out of the question as “Wipperfürth is at the far end of the district”. In 1909, a district administrator in Wipperfürth tried to build the winter school in Wipperfürth by decree, and all the local councils in Lindlar resigned in protest. The school was finally built in Lindlar.
On June 30, 1910, a railway connection to the Wuppertal Railway was opened after the attack. This provided a connection to the Brandenburg region to the Volmetalbahn. Originally, this line was to be continued on the Rhine to Bergisch Gladbach , but the planning was never implemented.
Before the First World War , a continuation of the Cologne-Mülheim-Lindlar railway to Wipperfürth was planned as an alternative . Because of the war, this railway was not built either.
1919-1945
On March 5, 1923, Wipperfürth was occupied by French dragoons . District administrators in the district Wipperfurth were Eduard Wessel (1919-1924) and Leo Huttrop (1924-1932). On October 1, 1932, the Wipperfürth and Mülheim am Rhein districts were merged as "Bergischer" and finally as " Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis " with headquarters in Cologne-Mülheim . The first district administrator was District Administrator Matthias Eberhard (1932–1933).
In 1927, the plans for the Wipperfürth – Lindlar railway line were dropped in favor of the Wipperfürth – Bergisch Gladbach line.
End of the Second World War
From October 1944 so-called “ Volkssturm companies ” were set up in view of the approaching Allied troops . From February 16, 1945 to March 26, 1945, Wipperfürth was also the target of air raids, one of which was particularly striking: on March 22, 1945, an aerial bomb destroyed the town hall on the market square and an adjacent hotel.
In April 1945, German troops destroyed the Ohler Bridge to stop the advance of the Allies; NSDAP district leader Aldingen from Bergisch Gladbach gave the mayor of Wipperfürth and NSDAP local group leader Hankow the order to blow up all the dams around Wipperfürth. The command was not carried out.
On April 13, 1945, the Americans from Egerpohl and Dohrgaul entered Wipperfürth. Mayor Carl Graf, who had been removed from office by the National Socialists in 1933, was reinstated on May 7, 1945.
From 1945
With the construction of five wooden barracks at the Wipperfürth marshalling yard, a transit camp for refugees from the former German eastern regions was set up after the Second World War . In 1946, around 1,000 to 1,800 refugees arrived every day. The planning of the authorities provided for a stay of a maximum of 24 hours per person and therefore only simple equipment was provided for in terms of heating, sanitary facilities and lighting. Due to the immense influx of refugees, however, there were months of residence. It was not until 1951 and 1952 that the warehouse was renewed, the straw sack beds replaced and adequate sanitary facilities built. In 1960, the use of the barracks as a transit camp ended.
In 1955 there were plans to move the agricultural school, which had been built in Lindlar in 1910 , to Wipperfürth. But that also failed at first; it was not until 1971 that the school was moved to Wipperfürth. In 1962 a business school was established in Wipperfürth . The vocational school association with the city of Wipperfürth, the offices of Engelskirchen and Kürten and the communities of Lindlar and Klüppelberg was dissolved in 1975. The vocational school was taken over by the "Oberbergischer Kreis", which was then newly established as part of the regional reform.
In the course of the municipal reorganization , which came into force on January 1, 1975, the previous town of Wipperfürth was combined with essential parts of the communities of Klüppelberg and Wipperfeld to form the new town of Wipperfürth (Section 12 (1) of the Cologne Act ) and the newly structured Oberberg district slammed (Section 25 Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Cologne Act).
population
On June 30, 2006, Wipperfürth had a population of 24,062. Of these, around 1,800 were foreign residents (around 7.6%). The largest groups are Turkish (around 600) and Italian citizens (around 400). Of the approximately 7,000 employees subject to compulsory insurance, 45.7% were employed in the service sector, 53.6% in manufacturing and 0.7% in agriculture. The unemployment rate in the area of the Wipperfürth employment agency (Wipperfürth, Hückeswagen and Radevormwald) was 10.5% in March 2006.

Religions
According to the 2008 institutional scheme of the Archdiocese of Cologne , 12,937 Catholics live in Wipperfürth . This corresponds to a share of the population of around 55 percent.
The first Protestant community existed from the beginning of the 17th century. In 1610 it was given a church service room in the town hall. After the Spanish conquered the city in 1622, Protestants were forbidden to worship. They therefore moved to Klaswipper and Rönsahl . It was not until 1788 that the Lutherans Wipperfürth received the authority to practice their religion from the government. This was followed by the establishment of a parish that was independent of Klaswipper. In 1793 a separate church was inaugurated on the market square, but it was destroyed by the great fire in 1795. This was followed by another move to Klaswipper, where in 1837 the local church, built in the classical style, was consecrated. It was not until 1877 that today's church on the market in the main town was inaugurated. In 1891 the Wipperfürth community became independent from the community in Klaswipper. Today the Evangelical Church Community in Wipperfürth has around 3200 members. There is also an independent parish in Klaswipper.
The Daiseion-ji is one of three Nichiren-shū temples in Europe in Wipperfürth .

Blazon : “In blue above a silver ( white ) crenellated wall rising on both sideswith a three-pinned gate tower and closed black gate, a three-towered silver (white) church in side view; Above it a silver (white) shield , in it a two-tailed, blue crowned , armored and tongued red lion , covered with a four-lipped black tournament collar . " |
| Foundation of the coat of arms: The city coat of arms is a replica of the oldest known city seal of the city. Heinrich von Limburg took over the Limburg coat of arms with the Limburg lion, but kept the well-known pewter cut in the seal. After his sons had inherited, Walram von Limburg took over the Limburg lion as the coat of arms, Adolf initially added this tournament collar to the Limburg lion as the Bergisches coat of arms, which was retained in the coat of arms until 1280. |
seal
The seal dates from 1267 and bears the inscription: "S BURGENSIUM OPIDI IN WIPPERVORDE" ; the image of the old church can be seen in the seal field.
