Wuppertal monorail.
Wuppertal Suspension Railway, commonly referred to as the Wuppertal "monorail," was designed in the late 19th century by engineer Eugen Langen. Construction began in 1898 and was completed in 1901, making it one of the oldest electric elevated railways in the world.
It is a stunning feat of engineering and design. Its single-track system, suspended from sturdy steel beams, remains a testament to human ingenuity. Beyond its striking appearance, the monorail plays a vital role in connecting communities, making travel easier, and fostering social bonds. More than 80,000 people use the suspension monorail on a daily basis. It is therefore an everyday means of transport for the inhabitants of the city. By offering a unique mode of transportation, it has become a beloved symbol of the city and a magnet for tourists. With each ride, visitors and locals alike marvel at the seamless blend of functionality and beauty that defines the Wuppertal monorail.
