Self-guided podcast tour The Textile Barons of Wuppertal

About this activity

Travel back to the 19th century, when Wuppertal suffocated in the exhaust fumes of its booming textile industry and the city's elite fled to the heights. On this tour, you follow the stark, physical divide between the working class and the super-rich. From the murderous public stairs that were climbed daily by exhausted servants to the opulent Neo-Renaissance villas of the Briller district, you discover a world full of architectural competition, strategic marriages, and the massive industrial machinery that eventually swallowed everything.
