Cologne Cable Car

Amongst its first guest were the President of Germany, Theodor Heuss, and Federal Chancellor and former Mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer.

It was reopened after protracted discussions, but the route had to be changed in response to irritated drivers who did not want the cable car over the bridge.

The suspension tower was slightly turned and the support was moved to a location in the Rhine Park.

Today, the cable cars cross the thermal baths known as the Claudius Therme, which were built later in the Rheinpark (Rhine Park).

Starting in 2004, the cable car ran at night for special occasions and since that year it has been profitable.
