Bandwirkerplatz

Bandwirkerplatz, Public square and park in Ronsdorf district, Wuppertal, Germany.

Bandwirkerplatz is the central square of Ronsdorf, now part of Wuppertal, bordered by Staasstraße and Marktstraße. The grassed and partly paved area is ringed by paths lined with donated benches, and the central bus stops of the district stand here. In front of the administration building stands Max Kratz's Bandwirker memorial, flanked by two benches shaped like weaving shuttles.

The square served as Ronsdorf's original market center before the town hall was built in the area. Following the hall's destruction during World War II, the space was redesigned and continues to function as a community hub.

The Bandwirker-Denkmal by Remscheid sculptor Max Kratz was unveiled on 30 May 1980 by NRW Minister-President Johannes Rau. Two benches around it are shaped like weaving shuttles and were donated by a Ronsdorf textile firm. The festival name Ronsdorfer Liefersack recalls the linen sacks (Rongsdroper Liéwersack) with which 19th-century band weavers fetched yarn from Elberfeld or Barmen and delivered finished ribbons.

The central bus stops of Ronsdorf are located directly on the square, between Staasstraße and Marktstraße. The administration offices and the district library occupy the building inaugurated on 1 February 2007. The Ronsdorfer Liefersack is held every two years on a June weekend from Friday to Saturday.

Every two years, the Ronsdorfer Liefersack Festival takes place, honoring 19th-century textile workers who transported materials between cities using large linen bags. The event brings this forgotten work to life and helps visitors understand its importance to the region's development.
