Description: Wuppertal, Germany The Schwebebahn Wuppertal is a suspension railway in Wuppertal, Germany. Its full name is the “Eugen Langen Monorail Suspension Railway” (Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen). The people of Wuppertal know it, however, as the “Old Lady” (“Alte Dame”) or the “Steel Dragon” (“Der stählerne Drache”). Designed by Eugen Langen, who originally planned to build it in Berlin, it was built in 1900, opened in 1901 and is still in use today as a local transport system in the city.
