The Predigtstuhl Cable Car (German: Predigtstuhlbahn) has been in operation since 1928 and is the oldest large-cabin cable car in world.[1]
The tramway began operations on 1 July 1928, after only a year's construction. The production of the wires was assigned to the Westphalian Wire Industry (Westfälische Drahtindustrie). The two cars were manufactured by the company Bleichert Bleichert-Zuegg, based out of Leipzig. The building of the three supports, at heights of 22, 32 and 9 metres was contracted to Hochtief AG, from Munich.
