Wuppertal Suspension Railway // Wuppertal Schwebebahn story of a Landmark

[@dra911]

My mum was from Wuppertal. Dad sent me this video link. They immigrated to Australia in the 1960s, where I was born. Since then, I met a French girl, had a family, and now I live in the south of France. I only visited Wuppertal once, to meet my mum's side of the family about 15 years ago. But I think I'll need to visit again one day. Thank you for sharing!

[@williamdrijver4141]

Over 100 years old, but still looks highly futuristic! Very cool transport system!

[@mattyfromdabay1759]

My mom died yesterday of cancer, she loved watching your videos and showing me. Even in her last hours, Crazy how something so small as watching KZbin can make someone feel a lil normal in bad times. Thank you.

🙏🙏

[@germaninvenice]

Oh, I’m very sorry for your loss. Thanks for telling me. I hope you’re doing all right.

[@AlisMarsaili1351]

I’m sorry you lost your mother be sure to take care of yourself.

[@michaelrocky4571]

Sorry for your loss, WOW I know how that hurts, i lost my mom not long ago and I'm still suffering, i had a similar relationship with my mom as Mike does with his mom, I took my mom all over the place to see new things and go eat. I miss her SO!! I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.

[@paulehd]

Im so happy the Elephant was ok, and hello to your Beautiful MOM

[@jackcakeblack]

The Germans built that in 1900 says a lot about the engineering! Amazing thanks for sharing it, never knew about it.

[@lunchdewitt8599]

The Wuppertal suspension railway may be unique, but it is not the only suspended monorail in the world. For example, suspension railways also operate in Dresden, Japan and the USA. But the Wuppertal “Langen monorail suspension railway system” is the oldest and therefore a model for all later systems.

[@katrinajones8788]

Lovely scenery. Mom is precious as always.

[@brigianna4869]

i loved German gondolas, what a brilliant idea to make a train in the air. Your Mom is a gem! Love her 🥰

[@tatianadiaz1774]

Your Mom could not be sweeter or more adorable. She radiates joy. 🥰

[@patriciabernard8386]

I am 76 and a new follower from NJ. That transport system was more impressive than the Eiffel tower.

[@TinCupChalice40]

I’m jealous because you get to go back and watch all his cool videos for the first time. You’re going to have fun.

[@5thdimension625]

The German’s really do own all of the engineering. They’re very orderly and the trains look like nothing in the east, but I’m sure you already figured that out. Lol

[@victoriafisher6934]

Translate. Miles?autobahn limit? Wupper=¿river?

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

​​​@@victoriafisher6934He said that the part of the Autobahn where they were riding was only allowed like 75mph max. Speed. Unfortunately not everywhere on the Autobahn is no speed limit. There are certain sections where it is and isn't allowed to ride full speed, but I have the strong feeling that they slowly but surely place more and more speed limits😡 Yea, the 'Wupper' is the river underneath the "Hover train"- 'Schwebebahn'.

[@Czechbound]

I agree !

[@kimfrommn7162]

What a Fun Day!!! Enjoyed learning about the Suspension Railway!! Very Interesting!! Mom looks Beautiful Today!!!! Enjoy her!!! 🤗♥️👍

[@evandelgadillo]

Your Mom always seems so happy when you go back to Germany to see her! Have fun Mike and keep the videos coming!

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Mercedes German quality 30 years is a rare gem.

[@Terry11111]

Thats pretty cool. I didn't even know something like this existed! All thanks to the GiV for showing us

[@thedude4973]

Great vid giv. I love your mother! That smile and love she has on her face😁 when she’s with you is amazing to witness.

[@jackieford3281]

So glad to see your mom doing so well! Your travel videos to Germany are always great!

[@ShareaDreamComeTrue]

If I went to Germany this is the main thing I would want to see. This is iconic monorail history. So cool!

[@debk5669]

Hard to believe the transport system was that old. They sure keep it looking great! Loved seeing your sweet mom. Her smile is infectious 🥰. You’re so lucky to spend time enjoying each other. Keep the awesome videos from Germany with mom coming! And ones with your German friends too!! 🤗

[@peterchilla7399]

Aloha GIV Tolles Video danke das du mir meine Heimat zeigt. Natürlich wie immer einen lieben Gruß an deine liebe Mama Dein Fan from Kona Hawaii Tschüß Aloha

[@theuncalledfor]

It's a public transit line that some people use for commuting to work. Of course they have to maintain it properly. I visited this thing a few years ago, and I was surprised to learn that. I had previously thought it was a special tourist attraction, but nope, it's regular public transit.

[@michaelharman7823]

Back in the 1970's when I was stationed in Germany I took a trip across Germany from Zweibrucken to Bremen to pick up my Toyota corolla car. then drove all the way back getting lost and helped by locals, memorable trip.

[@barrydb]

Thank you Mike and Mom - so wonderful to see you both! I like how you always smile and seem so happy - it makes me feel that way too! Have fun! 🙂❤😊💐

[@mathewdeu3328]

Your mom look very sweet.....so nice you both hangout.

[@gregnosal3297]

That was AWESOME! Very beautiful in that part of Germany 🇩🇪. I wonder if Walt Disney saw that?

[@comealongwithme2735]

Wow your mom is still look good and healthy good for her ❤😊

[@Rmzkm007]

Your mom’s smile is like a ray of sunlight! ☀️ God bless you both!

[@ashenjoseph3056]

It is so amazing. Love to be there someday. Really really amazing masterpiece

[@TinCupChalice40]

It’s amazing that they had the ingenuity way back in the late 1800’s to build such transportation

[@AlisMarsaili1351]

They didn’t have iPhones and Androids back then lol! I miss socializing face to face!

[@lindak1965]

Hello Sweet Mom from the USA we Love You,thank you for giving us the GiV you did a great job MOM.

[@sheliabarrie1959]

Wow GIV that's amazing so futuristic looking hard to believe it's over a 100 years old ! ❤

[@SteelersrN1]

Wow. I really enjoyed this video. I never knew there was transportation like this out in Germany. Impressive.

[@thomasihle2279]

Being a railway fan, the Wuppertal Suspension Railway video amazed me. When watching videos from Germany and neighboring countries, the cleanliness always impresses me. But the filthy underground passageway really surprised me. It would be wonderful to be able to visit Germany, Switzerland and neighboring countries which form my ancestral history. I am told that there is an Ihle river as well as a small town by the same name.

[@77HeIsLove_woot]

What a good son! And your mom looks great. Youre lucky to have her and visa versa

[@deeromero9129]

Hi mom! So glad to see you again ❤

[@gilenasimons7081]

I bet President Biden would love that train too. Ty for sharing. Just marvellous. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧

[@GT-bz9nc]

Netflix should produce a global travel show with the GIV. He has an incredible talent to inform and entertain. 10/10 on the likability scale.

[@jeanwoodhouse6456]

you never cease to amaze me with the places you find! Your mom is still rocking!

[@greo909]

That's Mercedes look fantastic

[@gilenasimons7081]

I love you mum’s fingernail colour. ❤️🇬🇧

[@fboness368]

The cleanliness and efficiency of the public transport there is impressive.

[@bbcarbo9251]

Mom.....we love you❤

[@linhager12]

Mike I was thinking about you today... wondering how things were going. I was so glad to see you and your mom. I've always wanted to visit Germany. My great-grandfather Mohr was born and raised in Germany.. he came to the US I believe it was in the 1920s. I'll never make it over there, but you and your mom have taken me to quite a few places. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I really enjoyed this video. Love seeing you and your mom enjoying yourselves.... love to you both.

[@MichaelDTLA]

MAMA!!!!! I miss you my Love! Praise God you are doing well and God bless and keep you always. ❤

[@oldvarmit]

I always loved German technology. Thanks for sharing, GIV.

[@chrisramensan3792]

Thank you GIV for the translation, I think I want to go to Germany because it it looks so beautiful.

[@hungchoonghow5857]

Wow! Germany is so vastly different than California.

[@budp1480]

My wife Gisela and I enjoy your Germany video's. My wife came to the U.S. as a child from Germany back in the 50s. We wish you and your family best wishes.

[@cynthiamateo9450]

I lived in Germany years ago when my husband was stationed in schweinfurt . Loved the food/ beer fest. It took me 3 tries but I got my license, much harder than the states. All the signs and right aways. A place where you could have 3 seasons in one day.

[@tanweekok1]

Please send our warmest regards to your mum from us in Singapore. My wife Sharon always enjoys mum big cheerful smile.👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@tyson1fan487]

Love seeing your mom and your hometown and area's around there!! I can't even see places in the USA so this is really something special. Being handicap I'm stuck indoors so I truly appreciate. You and your mom Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@Keithfm]

God I miss my mom , lost her 2 years ago , but I love every video you have with your mom!! She is an adorable lady, GIV love every minute you can with her .

[@memories511]

Good to see your mom again. She is so happy to have you home. I am a mom of 3 and know the feeling.

[@Montanez823]

This was a super impressive video!

[@aletahallemeier1972]

GIV, I love when you take us to places in Germany! It was lovely to see your mother looking so well. The schwebebahn was beautiful and it was interesting to learn about its construction.😊

[@silkemexx]

Ich bin ja schon oft mit der Schwebebahn gefahren, weil ich nicht weit weg von Wuppertal wohne und meine Berufsschule damals in Wuppertal war. Aber so einen schönen Bericht über die Schwebebahn hab ich wirklich selten gesehen. Klasse !!!! Danke dafür. Viele Grüße aus Velbert nach Krefeld. Hab noch 'ne tolle Zeit mit deiner Mum hier in good-old-Germany

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Excellent coverage of this monorail system!

[@gilenasimons7081]

Outstanding. ❤️🇬🇧

[@shadowfilm7980]

Love it!!! Great video! Thanks for letting us see your part of the world. Where you grew up and where your mom lives. So cool! It makes me miss Europe so much! I used to live in London. But never went to Germany. Your mom is so cool. Great woman. It’s so nice that you went there to see her again. I’m sure she really appreciates it too. Show us more of Germany when you can. Have time. 👍

[@Annalorraine67]

[@nickbrown6457]

This brings back some great memories for me, first and last time I rode on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn was about 35 years ago while visiting a friend in Dusseldorf. We went to Wuppertal for a day trip, just to ride the Schwebebahn. As a Brit, I'd never seen anything like it in my life!

[@kakariki8744]

All my life I wanted to go to Wuppertal, but now I am too old, but watching you and your mum, is the next best thing, absolutely loved this video thank you.😊🥂

[@kathyweber6844]

Glad to hear the 🐘 survived!👍✌️ and your mom looks great ❤

This is more fun than Venice beach.

The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is needed all over Los Angeles especially over the 405 freeway!!!

Hey I missed you Mom 😊And another great Vlog Mike 👍

[@terryharrison5355]

Great video always love seeing your mom.

[@barryrahn5957]

I think here in Chicago they got rid of the cigarrette machines about 35 - 40 years ago. A blast from the past! If I ever get back to Germany I'll definitely ride die Schwebebahn and the Rhein promanade in Düsseldorf.

[@jmeinberg]

Ich bin Hamburger,lebe eine Ewigkeit schon in Kalifornien,habe eine Schwägerin in Krefeld wo ich oft bin und bin noch nie in Wuppertal gewesen!That is now on my „bucket list!“ Danke für die vielen guten Videos!

[@pamelamurack2322]

I am truly enjoying your videos from Germany. Your mom is precious and a great sport. I went to Germany many years ago and I remember how beautiful the country was. I thought it looked a lot like where my German ancestors landed in the USA. I am from Wisconsin and it really reminds me of the farming communities in Germany. Now I want to ride on that train. Keep the videos coming. LOVE THEM

[@shannablkbutterfly]

That train is neat. So cool.
