The Historische Zentrum Wuppertal with the Engels-House, the Museum für Frühindustrialisierung, Kalktrichterofen and the Manuelskotten is an important and indispensable part of Wuppertal's cultural and educational landscape. It preserves, cultivates and presents the heritage of the industrial revolution, which still shapes the identity of the city and its citizens today. In 1995, a friends` association was founded to support the work of the Historische Zentrum through numerous projects, in particular:

  • Promotion of scientific contributions to conferences and research on Friedrich Engels
  • Didactically prepared film modules on the life and work of Friedrich Engels
  • Research of the history of industrialisation and its significance for the current and future development of the city of Wuppertal
  • Acquisition of original historical exhibits such as in 2011 a balancing steam engine to complete the permanent exhibition in the Museum für Frühindustrialisierung
  • Events, exhibitions and publications
  • Support for special exhibitions, improvement of exhibition technology
  • Cooperation with the city's cultural and educational institutions and in particular the Bergische Universität Wuppertal
  • Accompaniment of volunteers in museum service.

Regular association activities are the monthly lecture evenings on topics related to the museum. Support the Historical Centre and become a member.
