Hiking

The history of the Reichsbahndirektion goes back to the "Royal Directorate of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn", which was set up in 1850 by the Kingdom of Prussia. It was responsible for the state supervision of the nominally private but state-run Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME). With the beginning of the wave of nationalization of the railways in Prussia in 1879, it was renamed the Royal Railway Directorate of Elberfeld. In 1882, the BME was the last of the three large private railway companies to be formally nationalized.

A great building right next to the main train station, which is still waiting for a new use.
