Schwebebahn station Werther Brücke, Suspension railway station in Wuppertal, Germany
Werther Brücke is a station on Wuppertal's suspension railway, sitting about 40 feet (12 meters) above the Wupper River below. The platform features modern glass screens and metal structures designed to serve the elevated rail system that runs over the water.
Built in 1903, this stop was part of an ambitious plan to create a suspended railway across the city. A major renovation in 2013 brought it up to modern safety standards while keeping its original Art Nouveau style intact.
The station sits next to venues hosting performances and visual art displays, making it a meeting point where transport and cultural activities blend naturally. This location draws people who come for both travel and leisure activities.
This stop sits between Alter Markt and Wupperfeld stations, making it easy to transfer to bus routes. Trains run regularly during the day, and the location is within walking distance of downtown shops and attractions.
The station features an LED lighting system installed in 2014 that highlights its architectural details after dark. At night, this illumination creates a striking visual contrast with the calm street and river landscape below.
