Oberbarmen

Oberbarmen is a district in northeastern Wuppertal that spans residential neighborhoods, business areas, and green spaces. The terrain is undulating and rises between 148 and 350 meters in elevation.

The district was created in 1929 when Oberbarmen merged with Elberfeld and other municipalities to form present-day Wuppertal. This administrative change restructured the entire region.

St. Johann-Baptist Church shapes the local identity and shows the spiritual path of the district through the ages. People gather here at a focal point of community life.

The terminal station of the Wuppertal Suspension Railway connects Oberbarmen to other districts and is served by S-Bahn, RE, and RB trains plus buses. This connection makes it easy to reach all parts of the city.

Near the Wuppertal-North highway exit sits a massive model house exhibition ground where visitors can see modern homes in many different styles. It serves as a practical gathering place for anyone thinking about building or renovating.
