How do you perceive Barmen's city center today? What do you like? What should change? What examples do you know from other cities that you would like to see in Barmen?
All Barmen residents and interested Wuppertal residents were able to contribute their ideas and suggestions to the so-called "Integrated Urban Development Concept Barmen (ISEK)" as part of the city center conference on April 19, 2023 and from May 11 to June 1, 2023 as part of an online participation on this page. You can find the results of both the city center conference and the online participation in the digital map below.
Thank you for your participation and your commitment to the Barmen district! With your help, we were able to jointly determine which measures can lead to a more liveable Barmen and hope that they will achieve the desired goals.
Die Stadt Wuppertal und das Team von Barmen Urban haben im Jahr 2023 die Fortschreibung des ISEK für die Barmer Innenstadt vorbereitet. Das ISEK (Integriertes Städtebauliches Entwicklungskonzept) ist ein strategisches städtebaulich-verkehrliches Konzept, in dem aufgeschrieben wird, wie sich die Barmer Innenstadt von 2025 - 2032 weiterentwickeln soll. Bereits 2014 wurde ein ISEK für die Barmer Innenstadt verfasst, durch den Rat der Stadt Wuppertal beschlossen und 2019 aktualisiert. Die darin aufgelisteten Ziele und Maßnahmen wurden in den letzten Jahren von der Stadt Wuppertal in Kooperation mit lokalen Partnern, wie der ISG Barmen Werth und dem Büro für Innenstadtentwicklung „Barmen Urban" umgesetzt.
Im Rahmen der Innenstadtkonferenz am 19.04.2023 konnten Sie an sechs moderierten Thementischen ihre Ideen einbringen. Die Ideen wurden dort anhand von Leitfragen aufgenommen, dokumentiert, diskutiert und von den Teilnehmenden am Ende mit Klebepunkten priorisiert. Die Ergebnisse wurden in der digitalen Karte unten eingepflegt.
An der Online-Beteiligung konnten Sie vom 11. Mai bis zum 1. Juni 2023 über eine digitale Kartenbeteiligung teilnehmen. Dabei konnten Sie die Ergebnisse der Innenstadtkonferenz diskutieren und neue Ideen einbringen.
Die Ergebnisse beider Formate finden Sie in der digitalen Karte unten.
Die Online-Beteiligung ist seit dem 02.06.2023 beendet. Die Wuppertaler*innen haben weit über 150 Ideen und Anregungen eingebracht. Diese wurden durch die Stadtverwaltung gesichtet und geprüft. Wie immer konnten aus unterschiedlichen fachlichen Gründen nicht alle Ideen und Anregungen aus der Bürgerbeteiligung 1:1 für das ISEK Barmen bzw. die Umsetzung übernommen werden. Im Rahmen einer Priorisierung durch den Fördermittelgeber mussten in der Folge dann noch einmal einige Maßnahmen in den Vordergrund gerückt werden.
Weitere Informationen zu den Ergebnissen dieser Priorisierungen und den dazu gehörigen politischen Entscheidungen finden Sie am Ende der Seite.
Here is a brief overview and summaries of the topics that were frequently mentioned in the public participation and will be pursued further:
- Creation of more green recreational areas and more pedestrian and cycle path connections in the city center and along the Wupper river
- Strengthening water and climate-sensitive urban development in the Barmen district
- Stronger networking of stakeholders and administration
- Marketing and making Barmen's potential visible
- Enabling the participation of all target groups
- Creating ideas for offers and projects as well as suitable places for participation
- Strengthening Barmen as a gastronomy location
- Expansion of Barmen as a cultural and residential location
- Upgrading the living space
- Improving the residential environment
- Increased use of funding opportunities
The people of Wuppertal submitted well over 150 ideas and suggestions. These were reviewed by the city administration and checked for feasibility. As always, not all ideas and suggestions from the public participation process could be adopted 1:1 for implementation for various technical reasons. One reason for this was that not all measures complied with the guidelines for urban development funding and another was that not all ideas were financially and technically feasible.
After the results of the public participation were evaluated by specialist planners, new measures for the continuation of the ISEK (Integrated Urban Development Concept) Barmen were developed and checked for feasibility. Some old measures from the last ISEK 2019 are also being continued and must now all be completed by 31.12.2027.
You can download the current overview of the planned measures and costs below:
The Barmen district council(20.11.2024) and the Wuppertal City Council(16.12.2024) have approved the procedure proposed by the administration and the prioritization of the funding measures as part of the ISEK Innenstadt Barmen.
Implementation and promotion of the four construction projects:
- Redesign of the Werth pedestrian zone
- Multi-generational park at the Heubruch "Felssporn"
- Climate-friendly redesign of the St. Etienne bank
- Redesign of the Alter Markt suspension railway station arrival point, Barmen key project
and the six investment-related projects:
- Continuation of the disposition fund for the active participation of residents
- Accompanying city center management "Barmen Urban", continuation
- Establishment and maintenance of a digital communication platform "Barmen Begeistert/Kulturteppich Barmen"
- Accompanying image, information and public relations work
- Accompanying evaluation
- Neighborhood architect
has now been confirmed by the district government. The above-mentioned measures can now be implemented in the period from 2025-2027 with almost 4 million euros (80% of which is funding)! This represents a major step for the further development of Barmen city center.
Thank you for your participation and your commitment to the Barmen district! With your help, we were able to determine together in the inner city conference which measures could lead to a more liveable Barmen. Now we can implement individual measures developed directly by you to improve Barmen's city center. We are now working together to ensure that they achieve the desired goals.
