    My mum was from Wuppertal. Dad sent me this video link. They immigrated to Australia in the 1960s, where I was born. Since then, I met a French girl, had a family, and now I live in the south of France. I only visited Wuppertal once, to meet my mum's side of the family about 15 years ago. But I think I'll need to visit again one day. Thank you for sharing!

    My mom died yesterday of cancer, she loved watching your videos and showing me. Even in her last hours, Crazy how something so small as watching UA-cam can make someone feel a lil normal in bad times. Thank you.

      The German’s really do own all of the engineering. They’re very orderly and the trains look like nothing in the east, but I’m sure you already figured that out. Lol

      Translate. Miles?autobahn limit? Wupper=¿river?

    • @Der_Kleine_Mann
      @Der_Kleine_Mann Рік тому +4

      ​​​@@victoriafisher6934He said that the part of the Autobahn where they were riding was only allowed like 75mph max. Speed. Unfortunately not everywhere on the Autobahn is no speed limit. There are certain sections where it is and isn't allowed to ride full speed, but I have the strong feeling that they slowly but surely place more and more speed limits😡
      Yea, the 'Wupper' is the river underneath the "Hover train"- 'Schwebebahn'.

      The Wuppertal suspension railway may be unique,
      but it is not the only suspended monorail in the world.
      For example, suspension railways also operate in Dresden, Japan and the USA.
      But the Wuppertal “Langen monorail suspension railway system” is the oldest and therefore
      a model for all later systems.

      It's a public transit line that some people use for commuting to work. Of course they have to maintain it properly.
      I visited this thing a few years ago, and I was surprised to learn that. I had previously thought it was a special tourist attraction, but nope, it's regular public transit.

    Being a railway fan, the Wuppertal Suspension Railway video amazed me. When watching videos from Germany and neighboring countries, the cleanliness always impresses me. But the filthy underground passageway really surprised me. It would be wonderful to be able to visit Germany, Switzerland and neighboring countries which form my ancestral history. I am told that there is an Ihle river as well as a small town by the same name.

    Since I married a Wuppertaler, we were married in the Kaiser Wagen of course: ) When you sign your marriage certificate the Schwebebahn has to stop because you're not allowed to get married in motion I guess *lol* And they let you pick your favorite place to stop, so we picked over our church, the Hauptkirche in Barmen. Thanks to your video I now know that the Firma MAN was involved in building the Schwebebahn. They also made the famous Muengstener Bruecke in Solingen and all the city busses and LKWs today, still. I lived in Barmen for 2 years and fell in love with the screech of the Kaiser Wagen like the locals. I rode the Schwebebahn to my German class every day. Glad your mom finally got to ride it.
