Elberfeld, Municipal district in Wuppertal, Germany.
Elberfeld extends over 11 square kilometers with an elevation ranging from 140 to 326 meters above sea level in the heart of Wuppertal.
The area received its first mention as 'elverfelde' in 1161, deriving from old Low German meaning 'river', and maintained independence until merging with Wuppertal in 1929.
The Von-der-Heydt-Museum contains significant art collections from the Rhineland region, while the Historical City Hall functions as a concert venue for performances.
The district connects to multiple transportation networks through RB 48, RE 4, RE 7, RE 13, IC, and ICE rail services, serving 67,480 residents.
Friedrich Harkort constructed an experimental suspension railway in 1826 at Elberfeld, leading to the development of the current Schwebebahn transit system.
