The power-generating machines in the Johann Wülfing & Sohn Museum in Radevormwald are still completely intact. Another brilliant item is a glittering two-cylinder steam engine made in 1891. This is the largest steam engine in the Bergisch Land and its 400 horse-power capacity was put into action whenever the River Wupper was unable to supply enough water to keep the factory production in operation.
The large factory site, built alongside a loop in the River Wupper, is a microcosm of a small town: it has its own half-timbered station, a manufacturer’s villa, worker’s dwellings built on top of one another several stories high, and a church.
The oldest of the buildings dates back to 1836, the remainder followed soon after. The Johann Wülfing & Sohn company dominated life in the suburb of Dahlerau for a total of 150 years.
