Suspension Railway Photo Art at FanWinkel

The year 2026 in the valley is all about a true icon: the Wuppertal Suspension Railway. To mark its grand 125th anniversary, our exclusive photo series is getting even closer to its home: Starting now, a curated selection of our popular aluminum Dibond wall art is available right on site at the Vohwinkeler FanWinkel in the Barmenia on Kaiserstrasse.

For us, this floating landmark is far more than just a historic mode of transportation. It is the pulsating, steel heart of Wuppertal and the ultimate inspiration for our urban contrast photographs. The fact that our works are now being featured in the popular FanWinkel shop-in-shop system run by the Barmenia agency Erdinc Özcan-Schulz fills a gap for art and suspension railway fans in western Wuppertal.

Art You Can Touch, Right Here

If you’re looking for top-notch gifts from Wuppertal or want to spruce up your home with a touch of local flair, you can now take a closer look at our iconic, square wall art right in our store on Kaiserstrasse and take it home with you right away. Each piece impresses with its razor-sharp, high-quality print on sturdy aluminum Dibond, complete with wall mounts attached to the back for that floating gallery look - and, of course, packaged in our black gift box. A forgery-proof certificate of authenticity also guarantees the piece’s exclusivity and authenticity.

Available on-site are, for example, popular stations along the West Line such as Sonnborner Straße (in sky blue or orange) and the Zoo/Stadion station. Another real eye-catcher in the storefront window is the current display piece featuring the Vohwinkel terminal station in sky blue.

Wuppertal’s Festive September

The arrival of our collection in the heart of Vohwinkel kicks off a month of historic events in the valley this September. The grand opening will be the big Schwebebahn Family Festival celebrating its 125th anniversary on Saturday, September 19, 2026, around the main train station (Döppersberg). From 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., downtown Elberfeld will be transformed into a huge festival area featuring hands-on activities, culinary highlights, and the major exhibition “125 Stories of the Suspension Railway.” An absolute must-see for every Wuppertal resident!

Exactly one week later, the festival excitement moves further west: On Saturday, September 26, 2026, Kaiserstrasse will be transformed into a colorful promenade and entertainment district for the traditional Vohwinkel Day 2026! Under the motto “Together We Are Strong,” the neighborhood will present an impressive showcase of local businesses, clubs, and institutions. For all visitors to the neighborhood festival, this is the perfect opportunity to stroll along the closed-off festival mile, enjoy the diverse program, and stop by the FanWinkel.
