Schwebebahn station Alter Markt

The station features four 38-meter pylons supporting the railway structure across a 120-meter span above the intersection at Alter Markt.

Built in 1903 in Art Nouveau style as Rathausbrücke station, it underwent reconstruction in the 1960s following World War II damage.

The station connects to the pedestrian zone Werth, where local shops and the Wuppertal brewery maintain regional commercial traditions.

Two access points serve the station platform, with street-level pedestrian crossings replacing the northern underpass system in 2004.

The station forms part of the only suspended monorail public transport system in Germany, operating since the early twentieth century.
