With texts, images and QR codes, craft producers, medium-sized companies, start-ups and social institutions introduce themselves using the information boards.

The aim is to to share the perception of economic diversity of these districts directly at the wayside and accessible to everyone.

“Most people in Wuppertal aren’t even aware of the dedicated and innovative companies located in the eastern districts,” we learn from the city’s marketing team. “The Nordbahntrasse offers an excellent opportunity to bring businesses and people together in an informal, outdoor, and low-threshold setting.”

Trasse as a Stage for Future and Tradition

The joint presentation of local businesses along the Nordbahntrasse shows:
This is where tradition meets innovation. Whether it’s long-established family businesses like August Pohli GmbH & Co. KG, modern service providers or young start-ups – they all share the request to give these quarters a strong and positive identity. In future, events such as festivals, open workshops, or guided tours on the Trasse could further promote the dialogue between companies, residents, and visitors.

This initiative along the Nordbahntrasse is an example of how economic identity and local history goes hand-in-hand. Nächstebreck, Langerfeld and Wichlinghausen present themselves open-minded, innovative, and proud of their roots
