This was 121 years ago and it still looks futuristic.
You can still ride in this system now, it’s called the Schwebebahn Wuppertal.
As much as I love it; futuristic it is not LOL.
@@danieleyre8913 It is both futuristic and antique.
@@danieleyre8913 how do you know that flying trains will not exist in the future? Are you Nostradamus or something? It IS futuristic, so phuck off!
@@Anuclano Real life steampunk. Looks like something from Dishonored.
@@exotszm Does not look steampunk to me at all. The system is fully electric from its conception.
Beautiful. RIP to all the amazing people in this footage ❤
@@Jiminy-trx oh!!!… get living people!
some of them may be vampires
Incredibly this is still in operation today, just with some upgrades. It's called Wuppertal Schwebebahn. What a beautiful video!
It looks like its original name was "monorail", and technically it is indeed, monorail (but not what they built in Moscow in 21st century).
@@AnuclanoIt's called "Eugen Langen Single Rail Suspension System"
In german, "Einschienige Hängebahnsystem Eugen Langen"
It is called "Schwebebahn"! I live in Wuppertal since my birth. And so I know this name. There is no other name today!
Does this make anyone seem like their looking at a completely different world
It does. Almost as if some of the potential for humanity was lost since then.
This hanging car line actually still exists today. You can visit this completely different world today.
In fact it would be cool to do side by side of this video paced with a similar video today.
Absolutely, almost feels warmer and more worthy of living there
@@patricksquires77There is one on RUclips.
@@patricksquires77 ruclips.net/video/7TqqdOcX4dc/видео.htmlsi=8CTZ7OTXPAOq82Ws
Beautiful color! I swear, these trains look almost futuristic! Great work, NASS!
thank you very much
@@NASS_0 You're quite welcome.
FYI this system is still in usage today. Der Schwebebahn Wuppertal.
I’ve seen footage of this before it was remastered. This truly brings the people and surroundings back to life. It’s truly a fear of engineering and it’s so fascinating to see all those people going about their daily lives and who are now long since passed. The child on the swing in the garden and all the people going to and fro.
I’ve since seen this flying train in modern times and how the surroundings have now changed. Many of the buildings long gone and replaced with industrial buildings. How sad, because back then it was beautiful. 😢
Feat
True.
Truly incredible
Mindblowing is that this was built when a car was still a rarity. By the way, putting it over the river is a great idea!
This footage is just AMAZING. Feel like I'm standing in time machine, travel back in time.
thank you so much
Wow they had this in Germany back in 1902 ? Amazing
It was great fun on a windy day.
Right! What amazing ingenuity for such a long time ago
Yes, the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn (Wuppertal Suspension Railway) began its operation in 1901. Amazing and unique till today.
Germany was and is the most progressive country!
The feats of engineering is amazing. That’s is really impressive for 1902.
Dude, there is no such thing anywhere in our country in 2023 (Russia) =) It's really amazing...
@@MrKrevedзато у нас в Красноярске 30 лет метро строят😂. А в легендарном омском метро есть целая одна станция
I feel sad how much Wuppertal has changed over a century. Die Schwebebahn is still running today. I grew up in a neighboring town 30 minutes away from Wuppertal. I remember my parents telling me a story about an incident in the 1950's that involved "Tuffi" the Elephant. As a publicity stunt, a Circus director thought it would be a grand idea to have Tuffi ride on the Schwebebahn. As you may have guessed, it didn't go well lol. The Elephant panicked. It destroyed the inside of the carriage, injured passengers, broke windows and fell into the river below. Tuffi survived with minor injuries. She was one lucky Elephant 😊
This video is a classic, now remastered to an incredible level of quality. Perhaps one of the highest quality videos from that time that exist. It is incredible to see how beautiful the cities were at that time. So clean and simple. The people were beautiful and well dressed, elegant and slim. In reality it was a much better world than the current one despite all the technology and advances that we have that are useless and that ultimately do not give us a better life.
If you don’t think about the antisemitism, racism, homophobia, complete lack of equality between men and women, and major wars impacting each generation…
But yeah it’s not comprehensible to me how we went from building beautiful things to not care at all about aesthetics.
Haha! P, get over yourself!
Oh wait! I hear your social media virtue signaling clubmates calling. It seems it is dinner in your mother's basement tonight.
Except without antibiotics I would have been dead years ago. More than once my life and health have been saved by "useless advances" that did not exist in 1902.
maybe you need those antibiotics because you're eating modern processed garbage or living a modern sedentary lifestyle?
@@PraiseB2Allah Infections that require antibiotic treatment occur in the healthiest of bodies. The past was not better in many ways...have you ever needed antibiotics? Illness without antibiotics was much worse and could be fatal, whereas today it is almost no problem in most cases. Do you think all the people committed to tuberculosis asylums lived unhealthy lifestyles, eating modern processed garbage? No, because there was no modern processed garbage and most of these people fit into your ideal of slim active people of the past. Yet untold thousands were in these asylums for years before the advent of penicillin. Moreover the treatment regimen in these asylums called for fresh air, good nutrition and exercise. What ended the need for these asylums? Only penicillin. Healthy lifestyle has no effect or meaning when it comes to this and many other bacterial infections. TB and TB asylums are but two examples, others like pneumonia, post operative infections, and strep throat are not insignificant. How you live is a small factor in the prevention and outcome of these bacterial infections. Glad I did not have pneumonia in 1902.
The town is called Wuppertal. A Wuppertaler is somone or something from Wuppertal. The town was however not called Wuppertal until 1930 when several smaller towns were merged. The rail was at the time of this film clip called Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen (Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System) and stations were originally built in Barmen, Elberfeld, and Vohwinkel between 1897 and 1903, three of the towns that eventually became Wuppertal.
Is it still up or did they take it down?
Perhaps my favourite rendering by you NASS, not only for the incredible quality but moreover for how it made me feel. It's startling to fathom what humankind would have achieved over the last century if we didnt have needless wars to stunt our ingenuity and cultural development.
thank you very much
Holy moly, this one is staggeringly good. It's very difficult to explain and how immersive this one is. Sheer brilliance. Thank you very much for doing this work.
thank you very much
This is one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen. Even for this channel it's mindblowing. Everyone on earth should see it 😦
thank you very much
so come to wuppertal and have a ride...
What a beautiful town. My German ancestors immigrated from there to America in 1848.
There is so much detail and great color that this almost looks like a science fiction video that is all computer created. Thanks for sharing this outstanding video!
Thx ;)
Never seen video of this tramway before, only still pics in history books. Fascinating! really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing it. Cheers!
Thx ;)
It’s still in operation today. It’s called the Schwebebahn Wuppertal.
Gorgeous architecture all around
I'm amazed at so many of the technological advancements that occurred this far in the past.
This is so fascinating to see, i wish there was cameras in midlle ages lol, it feels so nostalgic even tho i was born 80 years later. Amazing stuff.
thank you so much
Notice how empty the streets were and how no one seemed rushed. How clean things were. So sad that much was lost during the world wars, not just places, but people, too. Thanks for letting us have a glimpse into the past.
Most people today really don't comprehend how much things changed after WWI and II.
...and streets with no commercial advertisement posters demanding your constant attention.
A bit of fresh air.
Well there’s no automobiles. Just like in most films from before the 1950s.
These old films have made me realise just how much having too many automobiles has ruined cities.
@@danieleyre8913Yes. You walk out the door and immediately there's a lane whose crossing could kill you.
I am at a loss for words 😮. It's beautiful. This is the best historical clip that I have ever seen. Wow. This is truly going back in time ❤thank you
thank you very much
Wow, I really respect Germany.
from Japan
Way ahead of it's time
Germans are always ahead of the time.
naturlich@@bartobruintjes7056
Used to live in Wuppertal.
This is such an incredible work Nass! Wow! Thanks for that!
Thanks ;)
It would cost billions and take forever to build this today, how did they do this in 1902! 😲
I live in Wuppertal and I'm using the "Schwebebahn" (Suspension Railway) almost every day! Of course now it is a modern railway. It's very important for the people in the city and it is the fastest way from the east to the west of the valley through the city. It takes about halv an hour one way.
1902?! Extremely ahead of their time!
Unreal. The quality is off the charts. I’m afraid awesome videos like these are the closest we will ever get to time travel.
thank you very much
Watching this video while sitting in the exact flying train 120 years later - Greeting from inside the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn 😀👋
Wow! It's like a Disneyland ride!
Amazing footage; nice job. I see that the Wuppertal Schwebebahn looks almost identical to this very day and that although the city was bombed during WWII - 80% destroyed - there are still some historical buildings that were probably rebuilt after the war. It's quite amazing that they kept the Schwebebahn (suspension railway) looking so original as it must have suffered some damage during the bombing raids.
thank you very much
Incredibly impressive! My mother, who went through the July 1943 Hamburg firestorm brought on by massive bombing raids and later resided in East Berlin and took part in protests in and around 1953 told me about the Wuppertal Schwebebahn and I found it a fascinating feat of technology. It actually looked futuristic for decades. Wish I could show this to my mom who passed untimely some 15 years ago now.
It almost doesn't look the same nowadays, the Second World War destroyed everything here. It's a pity that many/all German cities lost their architecture. Greetings from Bochum near Wuppertal. I love your work, I hope at some point there will be a video with Bochum.
Destroying German heritage was intentional.
@@naughtiusmaximus830 that's the downside of genocide
@@tldogmeatThat's the downside of starting world wars, too.
@@naughtiusmaximus830The fucked around, and then they found out.
@@thechad4485 You really need a history lesson ....
This is absolutely stunning in both the engineering and the visual aspects of a beautiful, peaceful setting. Your title (Flying Train) brought to mind another great development. The Schienenzeppelin (“Rail Zeppelin”) which, unfortunately, never made it beyond the prototype stage. When the Nazis came into power, the train was dismantled and, as WWII was looming on the horizon, it was presumably cannibalized for material to manufacture airplanes for the coming war. You've done a magnificent job here...thank you.
Simply fascinating! I was completely unaware of this existing until watching this video. And the colorization, the perfect touch!
Wuppertal Schwebebahn 👍
Thx ;)
The kid on the swing is perhaps the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, what has become of that little person?
Some major engineering in that project ‼️
Невероятный ролик из футуристической параллельной реальности! Ваш канал - это машина времени, которая легко позволяет заглянуть в прошлое👍
Ha Ha thats my hometown Wuppertal.❤
I just came home half an hour ago and I drove exactly this street beside the Schwebebahn (thats the name of the hanging train ) on the street with my car. Nice!
Looks great. Greetings from Wuppertal, the city of the “Flying Train”
Simultaneously old, Yet futuristic!.. very cool video Nass. Thank you.
thank you very much
Built during optimistic times, little did they know what was coming. Much like today. Great video, amazing work.
What an absolute delight to observe! Thank you for sharing. I don't mean to seem impertinent, but hopefully, future AI can get the color closer to the original time.
Dankeschön, ich bin 1980 in Wuppertal geboren und lebe bis heute in dieser Stadt ❤
Tolles Video 👍
There is the Dresden Suspended Railway and the Shonan Monorail in Kamekura, Japan. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn was the first monorail in the world designed by Eugen Langen. It still exists. 😊
Wow....I never seen these video in 1900s. After upgrade from B/W film. It's awesome !!
It seems so modern because the film is processed to look like it was recently videotaped. It's a world in total transition with a foot in two different eras of Mankind. The world above is the new modern industrial/technological world with a sleek speeding electrified monorail. The world below is still horse-drawn with piles of horse manure visible on the streets below, relying on a primitive animal-dependent technology that hadn't really changed in 10,000 years.
In Gramado, Brazil, there is a place called “Aldeia do Papai Noel” (Santa Claus’ village) and there a train like this one in video transfer visitors from one station to other. It’s nice, children love it!
Do you have a link
Thanks - going to check out.
This one still exists too btw.
Germany was on course to being one of the most technologically developed nations in the world. Far ahead of anything in the states, the UK or even in Japan and South Korea in todays times. Then WW2 hit of course.
The First World War set Germany back a lot more than the Second World War. In case nobody told you: Germany remains a technological leader, in many areas ahead of the USA.
And actually Germany the USA and the UK we’re about even in technological advancement at that time.
Incredible! 120 years ago and it looks like these footage was taken yesterday! what engineering art people were capable of back then! Life was somehow more relaxed back then, before the damn wars started..
I can feel that I am inside the monorail with them, everything seems so chil and relax compare with the cities of nowdays.
Stuff like this just blows my frikken mind! This video in particular is like you wonder what could they NOT do back then.
Even today.. this would be an amazing infrastructure.. wow mind blown to know this was in 1902..
Still operates today - very impressive.
Amazing and eerie like some parallel universe steampunk video.
How interesting… great job! ❤
thank you so much
As soon as I saw the title I knew it was Wuppertal! Great video!
Amazing, thank you.
thank you very much
Wunderbar ! :o)
thank you very much
Asked with the other comments. Amazing thank you so much
Thank you for the video and greetings from Germany.
This is Wuppertahl’s Schwebebahn, and it is still in usage today and most of those buildings are still there. Although there are a lot more automobiles on the road now.
I wanted to get off and sight see. Beautiful and quite creative 👍👍🙏💕
They had a beautiful society...
Until they became literal Nazis… crazy how in the US people complain about injustice no one says shit about Germany and it was more recent
The colorization has really improved with this one. To think this is 121 years ago is mind blowing.
Truely amazing what can be made from a 120 year old film. I find the sharpening and the cleaning even more impressive than the coloring. But also the speed adjustment is very important. Perhaps you should try and post such a film restored like this one, but in black & white still. In this kind of scenery it may look more genuine. Just a try...
Thx ;)
This is a very well done project. Great job!
Very elegant design. Modern architects should take note. And, no graffiti, litter, or homeless in sight. 1902 was ahead of 2023 in some ways...
"no graffiti, litter, or homeless in sight." - graffiti has been around since forever and this recording was done on a brand new system *that was obviously intended to be cleaned for the presentation.* And FYI a homeless person at that time would die in the winter so stop rejoicing at their demise.
@@TheDanEdwards you display the modern mentality so well.
SO COOL AGAIN THANKS NASS.....
Thx
I don't know what happened to my original comment, so I'll post it again.
It's amazing that, for being in 1902, this seems kinda futuristic for its time.
Tolle Qualität. Genial. Leider fehlt Vohwinkel Sonnborn usw. Schade.
Warum? Direkt am Anfang siehst doch das Gebäude, wo jetzt die Locke drin ist (Stütze 37) und danach sonnborn und der Bereich wo jetzt das Stadion ist.
Die Qualität ist wirklich gut und die Aufnahmen sind beeindruckend!
NASS, ThanksMuch!
thank you very much BRO
This is such a cool video!!! Thank you for sharing 🤩
Just as a trivia note: Wuppertal as a city didn't exist when this film was made. The movie starts by going down the main street of the village of Vohwinkel, and then goes down the Wupper river through the towns of Elberfeld and then Barmen. In the 1920's the communities combined into a single city. They couldn't agree whether to call the new city Elberfeld-Barmen or Barmen-Elberfeld, so they made a compromise and came up with the name "Wuppertal" which means Wupper Valley after the river.
What an amazing experience it was back then. Thanks for this video
Thx ;)
Great job.
thank you very much
One of your masterpieces. It looks like a clip from the "Myst" games, but it's real, and the train still exists today.
You mean people didn't walk really fast back then? 😉
Extraordinary! Thanks!👏
Wow, just amazing.
Absolutely amazing for its time. Was it destroyed in WWl or ll?
Great video nass, incredible footage, beautiful engineering 👌, great work, well done 👌👍😀
thank you very much
The colour in this version looks better and i could recognize details I didn't find in the Denis Shiryaev video.
Colorization, superb!
question?, The original frame rate fluctuated between 20 and 24 fps, did you have to morph the missing motion?
yes 24fps! i do frame Interpolation for 60fps
🩷🩷🩷Thank you for that! I was born in Wuppertal and I can really feel 😍 what a day was like in one of the richest cities of Germany in 1902! (At that time Wuppertal did not exist, Vohwinkel, Elberfeld, Barmen and so on existed instead)
At that time you see no cars and no bicycles ...
Brilliant Job, as usual . Ah this takes me back as I visited there just after my Grandfather was Born.😊
thank you very much
When you see something made in a genius way, the first thing that comes to your mind is that it is made in Germany! 😯
You can still book the Kaiserwagen (the 1st gen trains seen in this clip) for excursions today...
В настоящем грядущим живешь. Налегке, как на временной даче.
Все о чем-то мечтаешь и ждешь,
Веришь в будущем будет иначе.
Только время так долго не ждет
Всем известно, что жизнь быстротечна
И грядущее тоже пройдет
Лишь одно ожидание - вечно.
Who knew. Excellent vid.
thank you very much
Its in Wuppertal, which lies in a narrow valley on top of hard rock so a subway wouldve been not possible. that why they came up with this solution..
This was amazing! It was like one long film scene. Industrial Revolution at its best
I never knew that existed in 1902
Beautiful !!!!!
This particular video is so so cool.
👍 Sensationelle 😁 Bilder 📺 👍💯 einer vergangenen Epoche!
This is so cool and love scenary amazing, another great film giving us glimpse into the life of the people at that time, I wonder what the lady crossing the street got up to that day and what was her life like
How amazing! I'd never heard of this, it's like something out of Hayao Miyazaki!
