Jakobstreppe, Stone staircase in Elberfeld-West district, Wuppertal, Germany

The Jakobstreppe extends through 155 steps and stands as the longest straight outdoor staircase in Wuppertal, connecting Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse with Nützenberger Strasse.

Built in 1887, the staircase received its name from Jakob Wilhelm Haarhaus, the constructor and owner of the Nützenberg area at that time.

The staircase earned recognition as an architectural heritage monument in 2009, highlighting its structural significance within Wuppertal's urban landscape.

The staircase requires extensive renovation work estimated at 830,000 euros, including drainage system repairs, foundation renewal, and step replacement using Ruhr sand natural stone.

The structure presents engineering complexities due to its integration with neighboring building walls, requiring specialized restoration approaches for stability maintenance.
