The tap-tap-tönchen is a flight of stairs in Wuppertal-Elberfeld. It is not the longest, but it is the most famous staircase in the city of Wuppertal, which is rich in stairs due to the hills. The name is onomatopoeic (onomatopoeia) and describes the sound of wooden shoes that used to be worn on the winding stairs.
The staircase, which runs in angles and with steps, has 103 steps and leads from the Luisenviertel in Elberfeld to the Mount of Olives, the southern part of the northern part of the city. It was built in the 19th century as part of the development of the workers' quarter in the northern part of the city and connects the street Am Kasinogarten in the valley with the Gertruden street in the northern part of the city, overcoming a height difference of around 16 meters.
