Dresden Suspension Railway, Suspension railway in Loschwitz, Germany.

The Dresden Suspension Railway is a monorail in Loschwitz, Germany, linking two districts across a span of 274 meters. It climbs a height difference of 84 meters through a framework of 33 support pillars arranged over the Elbe valley.

Built from 1898 by the Vereinigte Maschinenbau AG of Nuremberg to Eugen Langen's suspended-rail system, the line opened on 6 May 1901, with Prince Friedrich August of Saxony attending; the mountain station was first called Rochwitzer Höhe. A compound steam engine was replaced by a DC motor in 1909, and Dresden's tram company took over operations in 1912. The railway survived World War II undamaged and was shut from 1984 to 1992 for a major rebuild, with Mi-8 helicopters used to mount the carriers.

The name Schwebebahn refers to the cars hanging beneath the track rather than running on top of it. The line was built because a conventional tram or funicular between the Loschwitz and Oberloschwitz termini was rejected as impractical. Since 1931 a single Groschen bought a ride uphill or downhill for many years, and in GDR times passengers paid into Zahlboxen set up in the stations.

The two cars travel simultaneously in opposite directions and meet midway, where passengers can catch a brief view of the other car through a window. Boarding happens in covered stations that offer shelter even in poor weather.

The upper station's roof became a lookout point after the 2001/2002 rebuild, reached by an external lift added at that time. The line crosses Veilchenweg, a residential street below, so a height limit of 2.60 m applies there. In 2013 the drive's large wheel, then 104 years old, was replaced and service resumed on 29 March.
