Kronenberg is a German town six miles southwest of Elberfeld. During the early 20th century, it was a centre for industry, with many steel and iron works.


It is connected by railway to Elberfeld, and there is a significant Catholic minority in the town.


As of 1911, there were two Protestant churches, one Catholic church, an electric tramway connecting the city to Elberfeld along with the railway line, a new modern town hall.


The population of Kronenberg was approximately 12,000 in 1905.


Compare Kronenbourg, a beer-producer based in the Alsace region of France.
