Anyone travelling in the Bergisches Land should not miss out on gaining deeper insights into the historical and cultural legacy of this extraordinary region. Wuppertal's position as a pioneering region of industrialisation in Germany and Europe is evident in the numerous sites that are still intact today both as museums and industrial monuments. Several museums have been brought together under the umbrella brand “Museum Industriekultur Wuppertal” to shine a light on the industrial heritage and its social, technical, economic and cultural breadth. The Museum Industriekultur Wuppertal is also part of the Center for Urban History and Industrial Culture Wuppertal.
