May 13, 2025, Koblenz Cable Car (Seilbahn Koblenz)

Koblenz Cable Car, also known as the Buga Cable Car or Rhine Cable Car The Koblenz Cable Car, also known as the Buga Cable Car or Rhine Cable Car, is an aerial cable car across the Rhine in Koblenz. It was built as an attraction and environmentally friendly transport link for the 2011 Federal Garden Show. Since June 2010, the cable car has connected the Rhine embankments near the Basilica of St. Castor with the plateau in front of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. It is Germany's first tricable gondola lift and, with a carrying capacity of 7,600 passengers per hour (3,800 passengers per hour in each direction), has the highest capacity in Germany. Its construction cost approximately twelve million euros. Following UNESCO approval, the cable car can be operated until the end of its technically longest possible operating life in 2026. The responsible operator is Skyglide Event Deutschland GmbH from Lindau (Lake Constance), a wholly owned subsidiary of the manufacturer Doppelmayr, for which the Koblenz cable car serves as a demonstration facility.

Shortly after the death of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the idea arose to erect a memorial to the Kaiser, who had brought about the complete unification of Germany after three wars. Three years later, in 1891, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the grandson of the deceased, chose the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz as a suitable location. In order to create space for the memorial, a port of refuge was filled in, which at that time was located at the mouth of the Moselle. The Deutsches Eck in its present form was created. On August 31, 1897, the copper-engraved monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I was inaugurated in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
