Gold-Zack Werke, Industrial heritage monument in Wuppertal, Germany
Gold-Zack Werke is a four-story factory building in Wuppertal's Nordstadt with a steel skeleton structure and extensively glazed facade. The building complex is topped with a mansard roof and sits near Mirker Bahnhof station.
The factory began in 1868 as a rubber band works founded by Coppel Cosmann in Barmen and later merged with Villbrandt & Zehnder, a rubber weaving operation established in 1894. This combination shaped the facility into its current form.
Today it serves as a space for workshops, art exhibitions, and small businesses, reflecting its past as a rubber goods production facility. The preserved industrial architecture creates an open setting for cultural activities and craft work.
The building is located in the Elberfeld district and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should note that access varies depending on current events or tenants, and it is best to check in advance.
The facade displays a striking symmetrical arrangement with five central axes topped by a curved gable, with glass panels emphasizing this regular pattern. This design choice creates a distinctive visual rhythm across the entire structure.
