EXPERT-HEARING: WAGENHALLE VOHWINKEL OF THE WUPPERTAL SUSPENSION RAILROAD – CHALLENGES, POSSIBILITIES AND PERSPECTIVES OF A HERITAGE-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT

Wuppertal, August 16, 2024

Since its caonstruction around 1900, the Vohwinkel carriage shed has been used for the storage, maintenance, servicing and repair of suspension railway carriages. Today, the operational requirements have changed dramatically; initial structural analyses also suggest fatigue problems with the supporting structure. However, the monument value of the structure as the last remaining original construction of the entire system speaks against the planned replacement. The hearing with experts from the SPP 2255 will explore the challenges, possibilities and prospects for the continued use of the monument.
