Where to stay in Küllenhahn
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The Bandwebermuseum is the one address in Küllenhahn a visitor would plan a morning around, and the Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Küllenhahn is the landmark that fixes the district on the skyline. It is a small place. There is little in the way of hotel choice, so a stay in central Wuppertal with a trip out to the museum is the ordinary arrangement.

About Küllenhahn
What are the main landmarks in Küllenhahn?
Two entries, and they could hardly differ more. The Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Küllenhahn is a telecommunications tower that carries the district's name in its own, and it is the entry visible from a distance. The Bandwebermuseum is the other.
Outdoors there is more: the Kaisereiche oak, the Burggraben ring-wall, the half-timbered hamlet of Obere Rutenbeck, the Burgholz arboretum and two old hammer mills, the Nöllenhammer and the Kremershammer.
What is the history of Küllenhahn?
Küllenhahn's record starts with a farm called Kettelershahn, first mentioned in the sixteenth century. What it carries is two things that belong to very different periods of Wuppertal: the Bandwebermuseum, given over to a weaving trade, and the Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Küllenhahn, a piece of much later engineering. The tower is the younger.
The name changed in 1610, when the farm passed to Johann Kullen, warden of the Cronenberg scythe-smiths' guild; the suffix -hahn is a form of Hain, a grove.
Where is Küllenhahn?
Küllenhahn is 4.85 square kilometres of Wuppertal, with the Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Küllenhahn standing on it. The Bandwebermuseum is here too.
