'Barmen' is a municipal subdivision of the
German city of
Wuppertal. Formerly an independent town, Barmen joined the newly-incorporated city of Wuppertal in January
1930. The
asteroid 118173 Barmen is named in its honour, celebrating the
1934 Synod which issued the
Barmen Declaration defining protestant opposition to the
National-Socialist ideology.
