Gevelsberg, Administrative town in Ennepe-Ruhr district, Germany

The municipality extends over 26 square kilometers at an elevation of 160 meters between the cities of Wuppertal and Hagen in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The settlement originated after the murder of Archbishop Engelbert II of Berg in 1225, leading to the establishment of a monastery at this location.

The coat of arms displays a brick gable on a green hill with a cogwheel, representing the industrial roots of the municipality.

Four train stations connect Gevelsberg to regional lines, while the A1 autobahn and roads B7 and B234 provide access by automobile.

The local celebration Gevelsberg Kirmes takes place during the last weekend of June, while Quellenfest runs from Ascension Thursday through Sunday.
