Kaiserwagen

Kaiserwagen is a famous car on the Wuppertal Suspension Railway that was built in 1900. Kaiserwagen is rentable for tourists, weddings, meetings and ceremonies. The route is parallel to the daily line traffic, but the train doesn't stop at the regular stations.

Kaiserwagen was named after the visit and ride of Kaiser Wilhelm II with his consort Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein on October 24, 1900. The visit was a planned test drive with a "novel and revolutionary means of transport."

Today Kaiserwagen, including the Wuppertal Suspension Railway, is under monument conservation since May 26, 1997.
