Cable car festival in K\u00fcnzelsau \u2013 25 years of urban mountain railways. <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The cable car festival in K\u00fcnzelsau celebrated the cable car’s 25th anniversary<\/a> this weekend, and ROTEC<\/strong> was there. Many visitors came to experience the history and technology, and the significance of this first true urban cable car in Germany became clear.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1999, the railway has connected the city center in the valley and the \u201cTal\u00e4cker\u201d residential areas 170 meters higher, and is therefore considered a model example of inner-city mobility.
<\/span><\/p>\n

With over 30,000 trips and approximately 700,000 passengers, tens of thousands of scheduled bus journeys are saved every year \u2013 and all without a driver! The K\u00fcnzelsau cable car has been operating fully automatically and without staff since its first day of operation.
<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A celebration with history and practice
<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The celebration offered a platform for history, local conversations, and entertainment. Many participants were interested in learning how the railway works, while also learning how maintenance and inspection ensure long-term safety and reliability.
<\/span><\/p>\n

There were also guided tours during which the cable car operations manager, G\u00fcnter Kantenwein<\/a>, explained how the cables are constructed and what measures are necessary to ensure that the cable car remains safe.
<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ROTEC ensures tested safety
<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our ROTEC team<\/strong> also regularly performs magnetic induction cable testing on this system, allowing even the smallest internal damage to be detected early. ROTEC <\/strong>engineers are also responsible for the annual inspection of the system. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

These inspections help minimize risks, as they are the only way to plan targeted repairs before major problems arise. We’ve also installed a permanent rope oiler in K\u00fcnzelsau, which ensures that the ropes are evenly lubricated during operation, thus lasting longer.
<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Technology meets community <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At the cable car festival in K\u00fcnzelsau<\/a>, technology and everyday life were brought together, creating a lively exchange between operators, experts, and members of the public. Visitors were able to ask questions, and management explained the inspection procedures on-site, making complex topics easy to understand.
<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, all passengers benefit from regular checks and the combination of modern measuring technology and practical maintenance.
<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking to the future <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As the topic of sustainable mobility continues to gain importance, the anniversary demonstrates how important well-maintained urban cable cars are.
<\/span><\/p>\n

ROTEC <\/strong>remains a local partner, and we will continue to conduct inspections and offer technical solutions to ensure that the K\u00fcnzelsau cable car <\/a>remains reliable and safe. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Contact and further information
<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you would like to learn more about rope testing or our permanent rope oiler, please contact ROTEC.
<\/span><\/p>\n

We advise operators and support them in planning inspection intervals and maintenance strategies.
<\/span><\/p>\n

ROTEC \u2013 we make ropes safe.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
