The facility was regularly used by trolleybus line 683, operated by the Stadtwerke Solingen (SWS), until 15 November 2009, but is preserved in working condition.
Until 1959, the independent municipality of Burg an der Wupper was connected to the neighbouring cities of Solingen and Remscheid by tram lines 3 and 4.
[3] In the middle of November 2009, line 683 was completely converted to use modern Swisstrolley articulated vehicles manufactured by Carrosserie Hess.
The former "Burgbrücke" stop, which was located in the short cul-de-sac between Solingerstraße and the turntable, was moved to the other side of the Wupper river.
The Unterburg turntable, which is no longer needed, is to be permanently preserved for special journeys of the Trolleybus Museum.
However, according to SWSA, a final decision on the future of the world's only remaining trolleybus turntable has not yet been made.
