"Friedchen", the name of the bridge penguin, is reminiscent of Elfriede Gröll. The landlady of the then "Wuppertaler Hof" was not a tram conductor, but sold tickets for the former line 5 between Wuppertal and Solingen in her Kohlfurth restaurant - not least because she was the oldest citizen of Kohlfurth when it was installed, Elfriede Gröll was named Godmother for the bridge penguin.
