Baumwollspinnerei Hammerstein

The Baumwollspinnerei Hammerstein was a cotton mill which had accompanying weaving sheds, located in the area now known as Wuppertal, Germany. It was the largest of its type in Bergisches Land and was owned by the Jung family between 1835 and 1869, when it also included a textile school.

The name Hammerstein can be traced to the Rittergut Hammerstein in Vohwinkel, now part of Wuppertal, Germany. Wuppertal in its present borders was formed in 1929 by merging the early industrial settlements of Barmen and Elberfeld with Vohwinkel, Ronsdorf, Cronenberg, Langerfeld, and Beyenburg. The initial name of the town, Barmen-Elberfeld, was changed in a 1930 referendum to Wuppertal . The Hammerstein manor house controlled much of the valley floor of the Wupper. In 1825 it gave its name to the Villa Hammerstein in Sonnborn, that still stands on the Hammersteiner Allee, and to a station of the suspension railway. Sonnborn itself gave its name to the Sonnborner Kreuz on the autobahn 46 and autobahn 535.
