history
On June 24, 1910, the concession for a funicular between Treib and Seelisberg was granted - the current concession for the railway runs from 1990 to 2040. The operating company was established three years later and began construction of the railway on April 30, 1914. On May 30, 1916, operations on the Treib-Seelisberg railway began. Initially, trips were only offered in summer, but since 1930 the train has also operated in winter. In 1965 the vehicle material was replaced, in 1966 a bus line was opened as a connection in Seelisberg and in 1967 the system was renewed to such an extent that no machinist was necessary.
In 1992 the system was extensively renovated, in 1997 the remote control and monitoring system was renewed. The last extensive renovation measures were carried out in 2006/2010 with the replacement of the generators and the drive motor.
Former Councilor of States Oswald Ziegler was one of the DB presidents .
It is operated by two shuttle cars that are driven by a stationary slip-ring motor with a maximum output of 140 hp from the mountain station. The railway forms the connection from the Treib jetty of the Lake Lucerne Shipping Company to the town of Seelisberg and carries around 110,000 passengers annually in around 10,000 journeys.
