The rivers of wuppertal. hello. i m meeting inge, who grew up riding the schwebebahn and even got married on it back in 2006. it was built in 1893 01’1894, but only in 1901 it was ready. and then you could go from one town to the other. that s over 120 years that this has been standing here. yes. what do you think was the impression of the residents when they first saw this? they were impressed, i think. they said, what is this? excited. they feared it, because they thought they could come and take them away. they didn t want the schwebebahn. ....
