Dear subscribers and viewers, please excuse me for a glitch on the right side of the video, it is not a problem of neural networks, but my mistake in the final render. In the future, I'll avoid this problem, sorry for that 💖
Less than a minute in and my brain can’t handle this. This video looks like something from the future. So artistic and incredibly beautiful that I struggle to believe it’s real and over 110 years old.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-65n-T31vIJM.html Mahameru or Great Meru is just one of evidence of Hindu, wasn't religion as today but an Ancient region from Indonesia all the way to Europe. As India the significant remaining. I am not surprised in Bali 2012 I had a bizarre experience meeting one of my Ancestors from another realm, out of common people logic spiritual understanding. As surrounding of Bali's 4 mountains, is Gate 7 of Earth's Chakra 7th which is Mount Kailash Tibet. Called Hindia, Indus, Indo (also Indo Europe and Indo Persia), Indonesia means Indo Nesos, Indo Islands, exactly on center of Equator line. Richest nature on entire world. Most humid yet stable weather all year around, alway sunrise at 6 AM to sunset 6 PM. Sumatra means Sumer/Summer/Sun/Gold + Tera/Terre/Earth/Land = Mother of Sumeria. The highest humidity and with so many volcanoes than anywhere in the world made the things decaying easily, worldwide still don't know about our oldest ancient civilization before the massive eruption of Toba 74000 years ago resulted today world's larget crater lake, volcanic Toba lake with width around 100 kilometers. As our Ancestors were even much more advanced than us today and flee towards today Europe, Middle East, America escaped the eruption larger than Yellowstone USA. #Indonesia #Atlantis Minangkabau, Batak, Sumatra, Indonesia Minangkabau Sumatra = Minoan Europe Batak Sumatra = Batak Bulgaria Egypt isn't oldest civilization. But Indonesia. Bit by bit the veils are uplifted, limited knowledge of present world is incomplete and inaccurate. Including how they west and middle east has been drawing Indonesia too small on world map especially since Mercator 1569 while should be almost as wide as Russia. Majority of people don't even know that our Ancestors technology was much more advanced than us now. They don't know anything about human civilization before 74,000 years ago the massive eruption of supervolcano Toba on Sumatra shaped today world's largest crater lake on earth. Toba is bigger than Yellowstone USA. Again, present education worldwide has very limited knowledge, based on their limited nature. Our Ancestors knew about the eruption before it happened and migrated towards West; Middle East, Europe and America. The fact is Indonesia center of the world, richest nature in whole world on center of earth's Equator line, is the root not the other way round. Biblical/Alquran/Koran stories including about Adam and Eve are just metaphorical fairytales in fact all those religious stuff are just fairytales. Religion = Region rely on legion and legislation. Sumatra (Sumatera) = Sumer/Summer/Suma/Sun/Gold + Tera/Terra/Land = Mother of Sumeria #world
jordan Silva Excuse me for stalking but I see that a lot of the stuff you watch is what I watch too. Good training videos, keto diet, log cabin building, small self sustaining garden projects. I guess that’s what waking at 4am and seeing a reply on RU-vid can do 😂
This train system is still the backbone of public transport in Wuppertal today, although they are out of service for a massive overhaul at present due to problems with the latest train model they had put in service. The wheels were "wobbly" and have to be replaced, as well as some of the tracks that were damaged by them.
Always the exact same comment on every old video. We should use the time machine to go back to a time when people were not in desperate need for attention.
Ancient Tenochtitlan (before it became Mexico) was more developed than many countries in Europe when the Spaniards conquistadors first visited the place. Too bad that we don't have any videos from that era. Only accounts from the conquistadors themselves such as this one: "It was like the enchantments in the book of Amadis, because of high towers, rues [pyramids] and other buildings, all of masonry, which rose from the water. Some of the soldiers asked if what they saw was not a dream". The city had aqueducts and its more than 200,000 inhabitants bathed daily. Which was one small detail that impressed the Spaniards since apparently they didn't take a shower very often. LOL
Germany was very pretty around this time, until the idiot came and broke everything. The towns and cities were so well planned. And the suspended train is much better than a subway. Riding in the light instead of a dark hole.
@@mindyourbusinessxoxo You’re so wrong. Please tell me one thing that suggests that Germans don’t have imaginations? You literally just pulled that out of your ass.
@@kareha0 Turns out it wasn't just theories but real conspiracies. The Bolsheviks did conspire to overthrow the tsar. The Zionists did conspire to create Israel. The Americans did conspire to take the leadership from European empires.
Europe would't look better. USA also doesn't look better even when was not bombed in the two world wars. It is the opposite. Those wars boosted science. Where would be nuclear powerplants and rocket industry without WWII?
@@mareksykora5197 the eternal lie peddled by war mongerers and profiteers for decades. War did not lead to polio vaccine, or penicillin, or stem cell therapy. It did not lead to the internal combustion engine or artificial intelligence. It DID kill many millions, and lead many more to lives of poverty and servitude both during and after the world wars. Society has still yet to rip out the ideologies of hatred and nationalism that fueled the conflicts and horrors of the 20th century, and in recent times some of these thoughts have even been legitimised by states and media.
@@SmokeyBCN War is a competition on the highest level with the highest motivation to reach the target and with the highest concentration, it is about lives of your soldiers and all your people. Huge experiences with antibiotics, rocket science - german V2 rocket, great improvements in planes, radar, radio communication, experiences with nuclear reaction, atomic bomb, computers needed to calculate the processes in the bomb. Without the WWII it would be impossible for Neil Armstrong to land on the Moon just in 1969.
nyz1973 ...probably just amazing. But even tho w/o wars we humans ‚tend to change things. Would have torn down old stuff, getting modernized... the wars did it just at once
The thing is even 118 years later, riding on this floating train feels like a very unique experience (I visited Wuppertal 2 years ago). Futuristic too but the steel beams that support the system look vintage. Overall it feels like something out of a steam punk fantasy.
You must be living in a cave if you think this looks more futuristic than today. If anything it looks more steampunk rather than futuristic. You "I was Born in the wrong gen" drama queens always make me cringe so bad
@@rrkwarmonger calm down bro. It is more peaceful and serene because look, no advertisements! No graffiti no trash no shitty people like yourself who go around hating on people. Try positivity for a change, smile at people 😁🤪
Knowing Wuppertal today it is insane how different the city looked and felt back then. We may have gotten bigger and more efficient with our building, but damn have we lost any sort of aesthetic aspirations for our buildings in the process...
@@skippityblippity8656 lol I wish I could go back in time and tell my Ancestors to stay in Germany. Seeing this city and flying train...my soul feels like it belongs there.
Its only a few generations ago really. My grandfather was alive at this time (1894-1967 RIP). Life goes by quick people, from 0-20 seems an eternity, once you hit 30 every year is a flash.
It depends on what you are doing in life. Get rid of your stress, turn of the screens, sit and just look around you, close your eyes and look inside you. Keep life in the speed that you want to live with.
The world is crowded, people are selfish and stupid, they cannot even drive properly on land, what’s worse and even more dumber in some cases, they cannot even stop at the pedestrian crossing and you want them to start flying their cars ? 😂
I live there....and the brigdes are still all there. Next to that big one, after the middle of the movie, there is a zoo nowadays. And Bayer AG. Lot of industry. Its so nice to see so much nature! Its still pretty green here actually, but compared to that video up there, it looks like New York :p
Note: Contrary to the text at the beginning, the city "Wuppertal" didn't yet exist in 1902. Back then, these were a handful of seperated cities and towns called "Elberfeld", "Ronsdorf", "Cronenberg", "Vohwinkel" and "Barmen". These cities were united in 1929 under the name "Barmen-Elberfeld" and were renamed into "Wuppertal" in 1930, according to the fact that the cities are located around the Wupper river.
Do you know if the hanging train lines are still there? I don't remember seeing them, but only been in the city for a few hours, I wonder if I missed such a beauty.
@@ayapotato7429 There was and is only one line there, but the network is extremely prone to failure due to the new technical equipment. The new vehicles are very unreliable in operation. In addition, the conventional railway signal system was replaced by a new GPS system, which very often does not work. The new vehicles, which are only five years old, are already showing extremely heavy wear. The maximum speed of the network therefore had to be greatly reduced, which is why the vehicles are incredibly loud when driving slowly. Due to these technical problems, the line is currently only operated on weekends. A rail replacement bus service is offered on all other days of the week. Interesting fact: In almost 120 years of operation, there was only one severe accident that resulted in serious injuries and deaths. On April 12 1999, a track construction company forgot to dismantle a derailer (a component for track maintenence work) on the tracks. The first train in the morning hit the steel component at a speed of 50 km/h (~31 mph) and fell from a height of almost 10 meters. Five people died and 47 people were seriously injured. Incidentally, that was the only time so far that such a train has derailed.
@@markp6982 germany did exist before 1871, it just wasnt one unified country, but it was still germany. Kinda like the eu now, germany was kind off unified way before bismarck showed up.
Germans were very good at restoring bombed cities to their old glory. I've been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber last year and it was hard to believe that a large part of the city had been destroyed in an air raid in 1945. The restored part looked just like the part that that was spared.
Depends on what one considers as beautiful. You mean the landscape and architecture ? Sure that was nice. At least from our perspective. Life was certainly a lot quieter and slower paced as today but also a lot harder. An outdated monarchical system deeply embedded in a bubble of neo-imperialism and militarism with an ever increasing social class division slowly eroding its pillars. Pretty much the same as in most european countries at that time.
@Daan Schlüter Russia before 1917 was a country where 95% of the population were in villages. Villages in the bad meaning. Peasants were slaves till 1861 and then they were enslaved again by terrifying obligatory loans by the government. And after 1991 it's still the richest country in the world with the highest poverty level in Europe, with a kleptocratic dictatorship. And the communism isn't the reason. The reason is lack of the democratic principles in heads.
It looked nicer then because of traditional buildings. We can build these traditional buildings today but people wont because modern architecture is mainly about working than living and looking at.
Architecture truly peaked in the victorian up to the war times. Such a shame that we don't build like that anymore. People in these times may haven't had the freedom and medical advancements of today but at least they cared about the city they lived in, took pride in their houses and had a vision. Architecture is dead. It's soul has died. These buildings were not built for a cheap profit. They were made to last. Damn war ruined it all...

@@Freakinreviews oh man, its horribly different. Especially the part when they enter the bigger city. Now it's just factories and generic buildings. I hate this
It's unbelievable! German science and technology of 1900' are amazing and very impressive. The flying train, Germany in 1902 was fantastic and fascinating to me. Thanks for uploading!
Yeah, I was especially impressed with that young man (at 3:00) on the bridge contemplating the relative speeds of the trains going in opposite directions and wondering what the perspectives of the passengers might be. Probably just daydreaming before heading off to Switzerland for his new job.
@Clinical Depression ... Reminds me of the Schwerer Gustav. Impressive but had high cost, took 5 man to load a cannon and was a sitting target for bomber planes.
Imagine, this people had names, they had their aspirations, they had hopes and dreams too. I wonder what they're thinking at those moments, I hope they had a fruitful life. Now the time is ours, let's make the most of it.
@@witoldlaszuk2543 First, this video is from 1902, so the people you see in it were probably mostly retired or even dead in the 30s and 40s. Second, most common people had no vested interest in the wars to come. Many bought into the propaganda, sure, but don't you do the same if you blame an entire country for the crimes of individuals? You may feel that way because you are Polish. The Prussian aristocracy and their kings (self-styled "emperors"), the heirs of the teutonic knights, subdued and oppressed most German states, especially the catholic ones in the West and South, just like they did with Poland. It's not a question of nationality but of ideology.
However, all the sickening ideologies always came from one nation. Why are you trying to clean German history? Accept the facts. May they never have the power to let their bloody, primitive inatincts work again. That's the lesson and homework.
🎀 An interesting fact about this train system: Tuffi was a female circus elephant that became famous in West Germany during 1950 when she accidentally fell from the Wuppertal Schwebebahn into the River Wupper underneath. On 21 July 1950 the circus director Franz Althoff had Tuffi, four years old, to travel on the suspended monorail in Wuppertal, as a publicity stunt. The elephant trumpeted wildly and ran through the wagon, broke through a window and fell ~12 meters (39 ft) down into the River Wupper, suffering only minor injuries. A panic had broken out in the wagon and some passengers were injured. Althoff helped the elephant out of the water. Both the circus director and the official who had allowed the ride were fined. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuffi
That has always been the story, but the car was full of reporters and nobody took a picture. There is only photographic evidence of a damaged car and later of a young elephant on the banks of the Wupper. The river is extremely shallow at that time of year and runs over stony ground. Wikipedia give the depth of the water as some 50cm, which sounds about right, but describes the location as muddy, which I doubt, though I don't remember it well enough to be able to swear to it, having last seen it 40 years ago. So I believe, as I have believed since my Wuppertal relatives told me the story over half a century ago, that this is a lot of hype, that Tuffi damaged the car while trying to get out before the train had even left the platform and that the attempted journey was then abandoned. Sensationalism is the business of the real circus and the media circus, so I think that Althoff and the reporters embellished the story. Think about it: Even a cat will rarely escape serious injury in a fall from such a height. (Though, knowing the location, I reckon that 12 meters are an exaggeration, too - the German version of the Wikipedia article gives the height as ca. 10m, which appears more accurate.) It is beyond belief, that an elephant should survive such a fall. Would a car dropped from that height just need a new bumper? Many years ago, I urged Mythbusters to check the story experimentally, but unfortunately the series ended without the subject being investigated.
Same elephant was brought to the city hall of my hometown Oberhausen and got so upset there that she pissed all over the floor in front of the mayor. I suppose you can’t hold that against her.
Depends from which angle you look at it. The Germans tend to overengineer things, so it's really expensive to maintain german cars and machinery. On the other hand the Japanese and Americans keep it simple, so their machinery is more reliable and doesn't need that much maintaining
@@Socko960 But for example a german car also has a longer lifetime. You can find a video with a few million views about a german car from 1890 I think which is still working. Meanwhile some american cars become useless after a few years because they rust and were build very badly. There are always two sides and for me quality is the way to go. Always!!
What an amazing structure from the early 1900's.Who knew that Germany was this advanced back in 1902? There is an old saying, once people put their minds together anything is possible!
many probably joined he military euphorically - see "they shall not grow old". People didn't know or understand what the industrialized world wars with hundreds of thousands of deaths look like, they still thought about comradery and heroism.
It wasn't. Think no antibiotics, no polio-vaccine, no anesthesia, no democracy, no women's rights, no gay rights, no human rights, no political rights. Life was shorter and the working week was longer.
imagine you had to work 70 hours a week (today 30-40 hours) in some factorys, if you were the average male person. In the big citys they lived with two familys in on room and they rented their beds to another person. if you had the morning shift, someone used your bed while you worked. But on the other hand the clothing and design were beautiful, the streets were very clean, they had no plastic trash and the air was fresh.
@Jon ...Wuppertal has always been an industrial city. Many people with tough jobs, hard lives, striving to make ends meet. Don't let this coverage of its famous suspension railway (the technical term for the "Schwebebahn") delude you.
The only video in the world which gives you an impression of parallel universe like another earth or planet or dimension. I don't feel it is earth but more an alternative world
if there's one thing you'll notice in this kind of footage - NO ADVERTISEMENTS. That's what makes it so beautiful and clean. Imagine the place where you live without billboards, signs and stuff shining with artificial colors and each one trying to be more prominent than the others.
Just wow, I have never had a video move me more than this one. Being able to peer back in time and see a 120 year old society cleanly and freely carrying on their daily lives and routine, oblivious to my omniscient gaze flying through the sky of a grand and marvelous city. The architecture is breathtaking, the streets were immaculate, the population sparse, the water clean. I truly felt like I traveled through time. What an amazing marvel of human ingenuity and expression.
The water wasn‘t clean, the wupper (the river you see) was one of the most polluted rivers in Europe for a very long time, it is a quite recent development that there a fish back in this river and that it got renaturalised.
Population in Wuppertal wasn't sparse in 1902. Wuppertal as a city didn't exist then, but Elberfeld and Barmen, two of the cities it consists of, were called the "German Manchester" in the second half of the 19th century. The population had increased about tenfold in a very short period of time. I love this video and the serene atmosphere, but my guess is that this was filmed on an early Sunday morning. (My main source: my grandmother was born in Elberfeld in 1900, and according to her, it was a very busy place.)
This is an utterly crazy achievement of engineering and architecture. Imagine, without computers, paper and pencil in had, measure precisely the entire route, design all the stations, all the turns, all the necessary auxiliary equipment, and then manufacture all the necessary elements, bring them together and combine them with really primitive tools, and knowing that nobody has build anything like this ever before! Today we have lasers for measurements, drones for scouting the terrain, AutoCAD to plan everything to the tiniest detail and the notion that everything is possible. Back then they just started using electricity for lighting!
People used to draw on paper a lot. Paper, pencil and logarithmic ruler is just enough for the huge steam machine, first jet engine or Eiffel tower. Who needs computers?
Finding the Route was pretty simple. Most of the Track is just above the River. Wuppertal badly needed a Rapid Transit System in the late 19th Century but didn't have Space for a normal Train or Tram. So they chose the only available Place which is over the River. That's also the Reason they built a suspended Monorail which would be a pretty crappy System anywhere else.
Dunno man. Calculating the stability of a truss, is done in the first year of any engineering study, when all directions learn overall basics in mechanics, physics, maths, electrical stuff and so on.
Something most people won' get: You can still take the SAME ride! Would be a lovely project to maybe put them side to side, to compare Wuppertal then and now.
Because it was before the socialist/fascist influenced movement called "modernism" (Bauhaus, Le Corbusier etc). A set of dogmas that rule over most architects and city planners to this day.
@Wil Sain Not on Mussolini or the Italian fascists per se, but on a similar totalitatian mentality as the fascists, communists and national socialists all had. Bauhaus was a totally leftist school, and Le Corbusier showed appreciation and admiration for these non democratic movements.
But only on the main streets, once you go into the alleyways it becomes a completely different story. Then again, that's the same today but even our main streets are trashy
Look at the architecture of the village! How come villages and towns looked more beautiful 120 years ago than they do today? They did not even have a refrigerator at that time, yet they managed to both dress better and live in more beautiful houses and apartments than we have today, what is the reason for this?
Communist/Liberal architecture. There is no beauty in it just efficiency. Also, the architecture of this time reflected the spirit of a homogenous peoples. You don't get that w multiculti society.
By 1904 cars and motorised buses were just starting to replace trams and horse drawn carts. By the 1930s London was mostly cars and buses. By the 1970s practically every family had one.
@@Fairfax40DaysforLife Not really. Germany didn’t start WW1 it was Austria-Hungary if you would be just slightly educated you would know that. After that came the treaty of Versailles and if Germany deserved that treaty, Europe deserved WW2.
Can you imagine being born in the early-mid 19th century and seeing something like this be built in your lifetime? People must have felt incredibly optimistic and privileged to witness such technological marvels.
I think 0:50 shows it the best. Horse carriges were standard. Cars were a toy for the rich. And over the carrige floats a train still seen futuristic a hundert years later.
This may be the most beautiful video I have ever watched. Peering through time. The watercolor apsect of it. The fluidity. The ghosts of the past strolling by, beneath. Or are they still there, forever walking in a loop that is the eternal now? I am a total nerd for this. Awesome job.
The Architecture, sooo beautiful! And this is Wuppertal.. Wish I could experience Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden and Munchen from these times.. So much was lost :(
Compare the average city buildings back then to their counterparts of the present. No concrete bunkers and greenhouses but buildings that resemble the city's culture.
1:12 the way that guy with the hat walks, It's unbelievable I can pretty much imagine myself walking there as well like it's 1902. But this is even before the flipping titanic!? You can still see just how rural the area is around it, it still has that 1800s charm to it. What fascinates me the most is that they'd probably have the same feeling about what happened a long time ago as we do, talking about the middle ages would make them seem almost modern, but then you're reminded of just how different the place really is. It'd be so weird to time travel there and know everyone around you doesn't know about ww1 and 2, their parents would've lived in the time of Beethoven. Immerse yourself in this world, it'll make you cry.
@@BigBodyBiggolo Wars lead to the advancement of technology. If there was no war, man wouldn't have developed so much. Without Alan Turing, there would be no such thing as computer science. So if there was no war, he would never have made the Bombe. Bombe is an electro-mechanical device used by British cryptologists to help decipher secret messages encrypted with the German Enigma-machine during the Second World War.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity.

Обожаю европейские домики построенные еще может (не знаю точно) в конце 19 века, каменые кирпичные, допустим их построили примерно в 1870-1890 они уже 140 лет стоят, и думаю смогут простоять лет этак 400 еще минимум. Вообще хотелось бы родится где нибудь в Германии или Франции или в Чехии в году этак в 1905. Люблю эту эпоху.
I'm 23 years old and now living in Russia, where I was born in Wuppertal. As a kid I loved to sit in this Flying Train and to watch the terrain from the window. Gosh, it makes me so emotional from this good old past ;( Ps. Watching this video, i've recognized most of this places, especially the stations. Funny to see this from more than 100 years ago.
Wow, eigentlich geht man ja eher von Russland nach Wuppertal 😅 Kenn die Schwebebahn auch noch aus der Kindheit, da meine Großeltern in Wuppertal leben.
I can imagine how emotional you are. I was living in a beautiful small city in middle europe. When I see photos etc, I feel the same way as you. That is nostalgic..
yeah same here only that i still liive in there. the schwebebahn wagons had been canged and since then iit only had problems. once a cable fell down at a porsche and it diidnt drive for a year. now iits a diffrent probem with the same after effects. the weels are worn out and it has become really loud. i am only 18 btw
@@CjnwJust a question. Why did you write выперталь with a b in the and not stop at the л? How would it be pronounced if you wrote for example Вупертал?
It's amazing how some things never change. At the 1:02 you can see kids on swings. It's now 2022 and I look in mt backyard and see my kids on swings. 😊
Sadly, considering how old they look and the time period this was filmed in and the location this was filmed in... there is a very good chance these boys fought in WW1
And nowadays in Wuppertal we’re driving with vehicles called „Schwebebahnexpress“ because the Schwebebahn is out of service. But the „Schwebebahnexpress“ is just a normal bus. 1902 > 2020
@@timrohrbach1801 It is not permanent, but will last many month probably. Cause is a new generation of Schwebebahnen/Trains that causes technical problems. Not sure, but if i remember and read correctly, the new trains are too light weighted so they swing too much into the curves. Schwebebahn never had month lasting technical issues that caused a complete stop of traffic, but since they had to check the whole track a few years ago because of the first accident (part of the steel beams fell on a nearby road) in many years, there are problems constantly, now they pretty much overhaul the whole track, which is taking itse time.
Sad to hear that the Schwebebahn will be out of service for as long as a year (I was going to write 'traffic will be suspended for a year" but it was too much of a pun. :) ).
This is like being in a time machine. Like I was just there. The people walking in the street doing daily chores, kids playing. You almost forget this is over a century ago and even the kids are no more.
Thank you for the person that record this video in the train 118 years ago.. And for the person that enhanced and digitized this old video. You guys are awesome
идея немецкая эта тупиковая, скорость маленькая. Они могли бы с такой скоростью дешево и просто пустить катера по каналу. Особенно катамараны. У них вообще можно швартовку не делать , а сгружать людей на причальный островок посередине.
It hurts because this was OVER A HUNDRED YEARS ago and my country (Pakistan), seems to be still thousands of years away from such development and cleanliness 🙁
Could it be that bad? I've never been to Pakistan and honestly don't know much about your country. I think it is a country of many contrasts (not only technological).
It's always about Religion Vs Universities... If Religion wins - country becomes "Pakistan". If Universities win - country becomes "Germany". You are behind only for 500 years ))) "Heidelberg University was established in 1386 and is Germany's oldest university." "University of the Punjab, established in 1882 in Lahore, is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Pakistan."
@@GoogleUserX "Heidelberg University was established in 1386 and is Germany's oldest university." You mean the university that was founded by permission on pope Urban VI, directly following the Great Schism that led to the election of 2 popes? Go and study history before regurgitating platitudes: of all the markers of a great civilization, the role of religion vs universities is pretty low on the list.
A lot of other society policies. Germany had universal healthcare in the 1800s. Its extraordinary how Germany was one of the most wealthy countries in the world even though they did not an adequate empire compared to other European countries...
@@charliecruger8393 Germany specialises the universities unlike many other countries. Most of the unis are not that great in some areas while beeing one of the best or maybe even the best in other areas. We just specialise everything in germany
It's actually not that complicated, mechanically, if I remember correctly. They didn't become common because, for most purposes, the standard sort of railway is just better (not sure which is safer, they mostly have different safety hazards from each other). It so happens, though, that in this case there was a problem that needed solving that the regular railway Wasn't suitable for: the only viable path for the track for most of it's length was straight down the river! Also other issues, but that's the one I remember.
Ja jetzt ist dort wo die bahn verläuft nichts als schmutz und nen haufen asozialer, bin dort zur schule und hab da gearbeitet die stadt ekelte mich nur an.
@@deutsche-kuromoriminepanze2737 auch wenn es keiner glauben will, aber die Stadt ist hauptsächlich so asozial, aufgrund eines bestimmten “Klientel” welches da lebt...leider
Habe Wuppertal auch in sehr guter Erinnerung. Bin 1935 dort geb,oren und habe dann 42 Jahre dort gelebt. Auf jeden Fall ist damals die Schwebebahn IMMER gefahren.
@M Pr Many of the finest minds of mankind have at least pointed to the existence of a higher design or consciousness, or acknowledged its plausibility (if the gigantic evidence before everybody's eyes isn't enough), but here we have you, M Pr on youtube, with the definitive answer.
Wuppertal actually has a museum that now actually offers a Vr experience of that. You get seated in an old traincar, get Vr googles and then get the entire train ride simulated as if you were driving through 1922 Wuppertal.
