Knopffabrik PSW, Button factory and architectural monument in Sedansberg district, Wuppertal, Germany.
The three-winged building spans three and a half stories, featuring numerous large windows across its brick facade at Alarichstraße 18.
Built in 1906 for merchant Walter Luckhaus, the factory began as Knopffabrik Pfenning-Schumacher-Werke KG, established in 1874 during Wuppertal's industrial growth.
The factory represents North Rhine-Westphalia's manufacturing legacy, receiving monument status in 1999 and becoming part of the Fäden, Farben, Wasser, Dampf trail.
The building currently houses 40 loft apartments following renovation by renaissance AG, marking its transformation from an industrial space to residential units.
Until 2021, the factory produced buttons for global fashion brands including Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger, maintaining its original industrial purpose for over a century.
