This area is called Alter Markt (the old market). It is a historic inner-city square that was formerly the center of Barmen. . In the 1960s, both the square and the transport infrastructure were completely redesigned and functionally separated. The B7 highway crosses the important east-west axis of Wuppertal, including this space. The Wuppertal tram also stopped here until 1987, when the system was liquidated (as one of the last liquidated tram systems in West Germany, as in 1980s trams were already in the rebuilding era).
