Unique Hanging Train in Germany

September 19th, 2009 admin Posted in Rare things, Technology 5 Comments »

Wuppertal in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, has one unique attraction, its hanging railway. While most cities preferred the underground solution for their public transports, Wuppertal decided to use an idea by Eugen Langen.

Eugen Langen had designed a hanging railway in Dresden, although it was more of a funicular railway. The length of the line was only 274 metres. Langen died in 1895 so he never saw his famous railway himself. The Hanging Railway in Wuppertal started operating in 1901. The track was extended in 1903, creating the route that is still used today.
