The Deilbachtal cultural landscape in Essen is an impressive example of the development of natural and cultural history. As early as the 16th century, a form of industry developed here that was favored by the special natural conditions. The slopes of the valley enabled the early mining of hard coal, while ores, sandstones and slate clays formed the basis for other branches of industry. The extensive forests provided the necessary wood for the production of charcoal, which was essential for metal processing. The Deilbach itself powered Hammes and mills, which further promoted industrial development. The strategic location of the valley, combined with the navigability of the Ruhr from 1770 and the connection to the Wuppertal area via the Prinz Wilhelm Railway in 1830/31, considerably expanded the sales opportunities. Historic sites such as the Deilbachhammer and the Kupferhammer bear witness to this industrial heyday.
