Standseilbahn Künzelsau

The Standseilbahn Künzelsau operates on a 1,034-meter track with two cabins, connecting downtown Künzelsau to the Taläcker residential area with a 170-meter elevation difference.

Construction of the funicular began in 1999 to solve transportation challenges between Künzelsau and the new Taläcker housing development, which started in 1990.

The funicular project emerged during a period of demographic change in Künzelsau, as the town welcomed new residents from eastern European countries.

The railway system runs daily from 6:15 AM to 10:30 PM at 15-minute intervals, carrying up to 80 passengers per cabin at speeds reaching 29 kilometers per hour.

The funicular overcomes space limitations in the valley by utilizing slopes with gradients up to 33 percent, making it an engineering solution to local topographical constraints.
