Guided Story

Take a deep breath and feel the fresh air sweeping across Kiesberg. Behind you stands the impressive tower, a landmark that's been part of the landscape for over a century. Did you know it was built in honor of August von der Heydt, a banker and patron of the arts in Wuppertal? Turn around and look to the north; you can spot the silhouette of St. Joseph's Church rising above the cityscape. In spring, as the first blossoms appear, or in autumn, when the leaves turn to gold, the view from up here is truly magical. The gentle rustle of the trees and the expansive view make this place truly special.
