Editing Wupper (section)

* On July 21, 1950, a young elephant named Tuffi, made to ride on the train by her handler as an advertising stunt, decided she did not like the ride, panicked (and panicked the other, human, passengers), burst out of the car she was riding in, and jumped or fell into the Wupper, only slightly injuring herself. In 1970 Marguerita Eckel and Ernst-Andreas Ziegler published a children's picture book about the incident, ''Tuffi und die Schwebebahn''.
* The Wupper is cited in the German sayings: "Über die Wupper gehen", literally "To go over the Wupper", metaphorically meaning "going bankrupt", "going into jail" or "going to die".<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.swr.de/blog/1000antworten/antwort/16807/woher-kommt-ueber-die-wupper-gehen/ |title= Woher kommt "Über die Wupper gehen"?|author= Rolf-Bernhard Essig |publisher= [[Südwestrundfunk|SWR]]|access-date=2 September 2014|language=de}}</ref>
* [[Else Lasker-Schüler]] wrote a drama entitled ''Die Wupper''.

* The 1928 American musical ''Whoopee'' and the famous title song ''Makin' whoopee!'' may have been inspired by the German saying "Wir wuppen das". The writer of the song was [[Gus Kahn]], who was born in Koblenz, about {{convert|100|km|sp=us}}  from the Wupper Valley and might have known this saying.<ref>Theory from Dutch journalist J. Vandersteen</ref> "wuppen" is probably not related to the river. -->
