Nerobergbahn Funicular

Rack and pinion funicular railway powered by water. The drive system of the Nerobergbahn is ingenious and innovative. The carriage travelling downhill is filled with up to 7,000 litres of water at the mountain station and pulls the other carriage uphill using a steel cable. When the carriage travelling downhill reaches the bottom, the water is drained and pumped back uphill.The two carriages have to travel 440 metres and overcome a gradient of up to 25 percent, and this has been the case since 1888.

The Nerobergbahn, the oldest water-ballasted wire rope racks in Germany. Already in Kaiser Wilhelm's time, the two small yellow and blue mountain railway cars rumbled up and down Wiesbaden's local mountain at 7.3 km / h.
