125 Years Suspension Railway – All Details

125 Years of the Suspension Railway

The Pulse of Wuppertal since 1901

The suspension railway – the heart of Wuppertal for 125 years – runs for 13 km through the city, mostly above the River Wupper. With 20 stations, only four of which are located on the “land section,” it connects more than 80,000 people every day.

What was once a vision is now both everyday transport and a unique experience. The 20 stations take visitors directly to the city’s key attractions. With its new generation of vehicles, the suspension railway remains a symbol of innovation and identity, even in its anniversary year.

Over the valley axis

Float between the two end stations Vohwinkel and Oberbarmen in just 30 minutes. Depending on the location, you hover eight to twelve meters above the Wupper and admire the 20 suspension railway stations. Only 4 of them are on the land route. In the meantime, all train stations have been rebuilt. Only three of them (Werther Bridge, Völklinger Strasse and District Court) were newly built in an identical form.
