About Cronenberg
Where to stay in Cronenberg
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Reformierte Kirche Cronenberg marks the old centre. A bed near it buys quiet and 21.5 square kilometres of Wuppertal that most visitors never reach, at the cost of a journey in each morning. Wuppertal has more choice.
Anyone set on the Nöllenhammer, the Emmauskirche or the Heilige Ewalde will want to be here, and anyone with a broader list is better placed in the middle of the city.
About Cronenberg
What are the main landmarks in Cronenberg?
Four monuments carry Cronenberg's name in the record: the Reformierte Kirche Cronenberg, the Emmauskirche, the Heilige Ewalde and the Nöllenhammer. Three are churches. The Nöllenhammer is the exception, the one entry among the four that is not a place of worship.
Wuppertal's wider list runs to far more, but within Cronenberg these four are what the record holds, and a visit that covers them covers the district's monuments entirely.
What is the history of Cronenberg?
Cronenberg was a German town of the Rhine Province before it became a district of Wuppertal, and the Reformierte Kirche Cronenberg carries the old town's name forward. Independence ended. What stayed behind is a monument list of its own: the Emmauskirche, the Heilige Ewalde and the Nöllenhammer, none of which the change of status erased.
The 21.5 square kilometres it brought are still measured under its own name.
Where is Cronenberg?
