The disclosure of the Deilbach, which is still partly piped, is the heart of the construction work in the Kupferdreh district center. The Deilbach will be freed from its underground pipework below the bridge structures and expanded in a natural way. For this purpose, a new stream profile must be dug and a stream bed created. After the embankments have been secured, the bank area will then be greened and planted.
A pedestrian bridge will be built over the exposed Deilbach to connect the Kupferdreher Center with Lake Baldeney. On both sides of the Deilbach there will be seating steps next to the bridge structure, which will invite you to linger and make the Deilbach more tangible.

The upcoming construction work is to be carried out in three construction phases. The disclosure of the Deilbach, planned for 2018/19, is to be prepared in 2017 with the expansion of the existing succession zone and the advance excavation of the future course of the stream.

The Deilbach is an approximately 20 kilometer long body of water that rises near Wuppertal in the Bergisches Land and flows into the Ruhr in Essen, which is dammed to Lake Baldeney. It also crosses the area of the city of Velbert. At Niederbonsfeld it reaches the Ruhr area with the Essen district of Kupferdreh.

Because many water mills were built along the course of the Deilbach in the Middle Ages, an early form of industrial processing emerged here. Coal and ores lay very close to the surface and were easy to mine. These could then be further processed in manufactories, i.e. craft workshops, into iron and copper products. Analogous to the Muttental, which describes the cradle of mining, the Deilbachtal has a similar importance in the industrialization of the Ruhr area. There were brickworks, mines, iron and copper factories here. The copper smelters may also have given the district its name. The navigability of the nearby Ruhr in the 18th century and the opening of the railway line to Wuppertal in 1831 helped the Deilbachtal to further develop industrially.

None of the early sectors of the economy are still in operation today. Even the large Kupferdreh coal-fired power plant is now a training center on the subject of energy production. And yet a surprising number of early industrial monuments have been preserved, making the Deilbachtal in the Essen city area an impressive museum and cultural landscape. These destinations can be explored and partially visited on a walk. Some of them are external locations of the Ruhr Museum at the Zollverein Coal Mine.

Relaxed way to the S-Bahn and also to parking spaces near an industrial area that are not very well considered.
