schwebebahn // wuppertal

the elevated railway has been gliding through wuppertal since 1901. then as now, it is an innovative means of transport, not least because it is separated from the road. there are wonderful views of the railway everywhere in the city as it winds its way through the valley of the wupper or directly above it.

seit 1901 schwebt sie durch wuppertal, die hochbahn. damals wie heute ein innovatives verkehrsmittel auch durch die trennung von der straße. überall in der stadt bieten sich wunderbare einblicke auf die bahn, die sich im stadtgebiet durch das tal der wupper beziehungsweise direkt über ihr windet.

This small village was supposed to fall victim to the excavator on the horizon. Most of its residents had left long ago and were relocated. But its fate has suddenly changed.

The village will be preserved, as the open-pit mine is no longer being expanded in this direction. It is now set to be developed into a “place of the future,” with a plan expected to be finalized in the coming months. However, it will likely take years before life returns to the mostly abandoned houses.

With closed shutters, the houses were waiting for their demolition.

The houses were never meant to be lived in again.

It has been a long time since anyone played ball on this field.

View of the village center with church.

The photos were taken in February 2025 as part of my documentary photography project Durchreise. I plan to visit the place again at a later time to see how much closer it has come to the vision of a “place of the future.”

Made a quick overview of the de facto, simplified cultural regions in NRW. Just to give folks who aren't from here an idea.
