Cronenberg, District in Wuppertal, Germany.
Cronenberg is a district in southwestern Wuppertal, spreading across hilly terrain with residential neighborhoods, parks, and wooded areas. The district runs alongside the Wupper river and combines urban development with green spaces throughout its landscape.
The area was first documented in records from 1050 under the control of Werden Abbey. It remained independent until 1929, when it was incorporated into Wuppertal during a major municipal reorganization.
Manufacturing of metal tools and pliers has shaped the identity of this district for generations, and workshops producing these items remain visible throughout the area. This heritage continues to define how residents view their neighborhood and its working identity.
Regular bus services connect the district to central Wuppertal, making it straightforward to reach from other parts of the city. Local shops and markets throughout the area meet everyday shopping needs for visitors and residents.
The Manuelskotten, a historical water-powered mill, operates today as an industrial museum showing how metal tools were once made using water power in the region. Visitors can observe traditional production methods actually at work there.
