from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tower railway

The tower lift at the Toelleturm was a lookout tower in Barmen , today a district of Wuppertal .

After the Barmer Bergbahn was connected to Lichtenplatz in 1894 and the entrepreneur Adolf Vorwerk had the Barmer Luftkurhaus built on the Toelleturm in 1892 , he acquired the so-called "Turmbahn" at the Berlin trade fair in the 1890s and left it in in 1897 (according to another source, 1895) build near the Luftkurhaus. The tower railway was a lookout tower around which an electrically operated elevator car spiraled upwards. The 50 (according to another source 60) meter high tower also had a café .

The tower lift was demolished in 1908, and there are tennis courts on the site today.
