Barmen, Industrial district in Wuppertal, Germany
Barmen extends through the narrow Wupper Valley, featuring a mix of residential areas, commercial zones, and green spaces within North Rhine-Westphalia.
The district transformed from a small settlement into a major industrial center, merging with four other towns in 1929 to establish the city of Wuppertal.
Friedrich Engels, who collaborated with Karl Marx on The Communist Manifesto, was born in Barmen and developed his perspectives on industrial society there.
The suspended monorail system connects Barmen with other parts of Wuppertal, operating above street level and the Wupper River for efficient transportation.
The pharmaceutical company Bayer began its operations in Barmen when Friedrich Bayer and Johann Friedrich Weskott established their first dyeworks facility.
