The electricity supply:

About 1890 the Wupper the first power station was built in the valley. This power station supplied the suspension railway and later also the Barmer mountain road with stream. In the power station there were the counters with which one could steer the single segments of the electricity supply of the suspension railway. Only in 1988 the control was moved in the leading state of the suspension railway. Till then the leading-on duty had to call with the power station and then the suitable counter was operated there.
