    You just have to take a ride on the H-Bahn, the view from the wagon to the TU Dortmund, the green space between Campus North and South / Eichlinghofen is simply interesting and worth seeing.

      The H-Bahn belongs to the type of monorails. They are available as overhead railways - such as in Wuppertal - or as saddle railways, these railways stand on the rails and do not hang like the ones in Dortmund. For example, a saddle train runs in Sydney. The Transrapid – i.e. a maglev train – also belongs to the monorail family.

      The technology was considered pioneering, but never really caught on. This is how most monorails operate at airports or amusement parks today. One or the other may still know the old railway in Phantasialand in Brühl. It was also a monorail. The technology has two decisive advantages: on the one hand, the construction is much cheaper than that of subways, after all, only stilts have to be erected and no tunnels have to be built, on the other hand, unlike trams, they do not impede car traffic. A huge advantage in narrow inner cities.

        Like the Transrapid because of the accident ....
        Neither is politically desirable
