Ascent of the lower Vogelsau stairs

Ascent of the upper Vogelsauer stairs
The Vogelsau staircase is a listed outside staircase in the Wuppertal district of Elberfeld-West, it opens up the residential areas on the slope of the Nützenberg with Friedrich-Ebert-Straße in the valley (Bundesstraße 7). In the name of the Vogelsau staircase, the staircase is divided into a lower and an upper part.

The lower part built in 1904 (♁51 ° 14 ′ 57.3 ″ N, 7 ° 7 ′ 14.9 ″ E) connects the Vogelsaue street with the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße at the confluence with 110 steps [1] Cable road. The building ensemble of the former Küpper brewery and the Elberfeld thermal power station are located nearby. It received its name on October 18, 1904. [2]

The upper part (♁51 ° 14 ′ 59.4 ″ N, 7 ° 7 ′ 16 ″ E) of the staircase, built around 1929 [3] [2], connects with 131 steps, [1] at the beginning with an offset of one house block after the lower part, the Vogelsaue with the Nützenberger Straße. The Church of St. Joseph, built in 1909–11, is located nearby.

The part of the facility on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße is particularly representative with retaining walls made of quarry stone and the individual steps, stringers, handrails, handrail supports and platform pillars made of basalt lava. Likewise, the window and door frames of the rooms under the flights of stairs between the retaining walls, in which a location is located next to smaller room niches, are made of basalt lava. The premises are not open to the public.

The staircase was declared a monument on October 23, 1985.

As of 2005, the staircase has been a sub-project "Path connections from the valley to the heights";
