Nerobergbahn, Historic funicular railway in Wiesbaden, Germany
The Nerobergbahn stretches across 440 meters with a track gauge of 1000 millimeters, connecting the city center to the Neroberg hill station.
Engineers inaugurated this water-powered transportation system in 1888, making it one of the earliest mechanical solutions for ascending steep terrain in Germany.
The railway complex includes a museum in the former restroom building, constructed by architect Felix Genzmer, displaying the technical evolution of this transport system.
The funicular operates with two carriages that can each transport 50 passengers, completing the journey between stations in approximately three and a half minutes.
The system functions through water ballast, using 7000 liters per descent, which gets collected in basins and pumped back up for continuous operation.
