Bad Dürkheim lift, Aerial tramway in Bad Dürkheim, Germany.
The Bad Dürkheim lift extended across 1,270 meters, connecting the city center to the Teufelsstein peak in the Haardt Mountains at 165 meters elevation.
Constructed in 1973, the lift operated until 1981 when local residents refused permission for the gondolas to pass over their properties.
The cable car served as a transportation link during the annual Wurstmarkt wine festival, enabling visitors to access mountain viewpoints.
The system included 43 small cabins supported by eight pillars, providing regular transport between the valley station and the mountain terminal.
A fire in 2000 destroyed the summit station and multiple cabins, leading to the complete removal of support pillars in 2005.
