The space used to be named Alter Markt. There was a market at this point as early as 1603, which became the Alter Markt (also Altenmarkt) at the beginning of the 19th century when the Neumarkt was built north of the Straße Wall. After the city union with Barmen, the renaming in 1935 was based on the historical name Alte Freiheit, as the name Alter Markt remained in Barmen. Nowadays the Alte Freiheit is the most popular place in the whole of Wuppertal, which is regularly confirmed by the count of the pedestrians in the Wuppertal urban centers.
