Parkanlage Vorwerk, Landscaped park in Wuppertal, Germany

Parkanlage Vorwerk is a 5.8-hectare landscape park in the Barmen district of Wuppertal, near the Barmer Anlagen. Its lower section includes a former quarry turned rock garden with a goldfish pond, a grotto with a waterfall, and a bathing pond with a pump house on the Murmelbach stream. The eastern entrance from the Barmer Wald is marked by a 50-metre pergola on a retaining wall, with a wrought-iron gate bearing the year 1895.

Adolf Vorwerk, founder of the Vorwerk company, laid out the private park next to his Villa Emma from the early 20th century; villa and the oldest section, the pergola, date from 1895. The quarry became a rhododendron garden around 1907 with nurseryman Nissen involved. The villa was lived in until 1959 and later demolished. In 1993 the family had the overgrown grounds cleared, and the park opened to the public in 2003.

The quarry was turned into a rhododendron garden around 1907, with the Wuppertal nurseryman Nissen involved in its design; up to six gardeners are said to have worked here. In 1950 new rhododendrons and hardy Japanese azaleas were planted around the newly laid-out goldfish pond. The Deutsche Rhododendron-Gesellschaft visited the park in 1964.

The eastern entrance from the Barmer Wald, the villa's original approach, is reached through a 50-metre pergola on a retaining wall; a wrought-iron gate there protects a stairway up to the Barmer Wald, with a stone marked 1895 set above it. The lower section lies in the Murmelbachtal nature reserve, and benches at viewpoints along the path network offer places to rest. The Toelleturm viewing platform stands about 300 metres northwest of the park.

The eastern entrance from the Barmer Wald, the villa's original approach, is framed by a 50-metre pergola on a retaining wall. A wrought-iron gate there protects a stairway into the forest, and a stone above it bears the year 1895. The dry-stone wall once marked the boundary with the Barmer Verschönerungsverein grounds.
