Guided Story
Take a look around; you might notice how unique this place is. The Unterburg turntable is the last remaining turntable for trolleybuses in the world. This technical curiosity was used by line 683 until 2009. Imagine the trolleybuses turning here, connected to the Solingen public utility company. Behind you, about 199 meters northwest, stands the Evangelische Kirche Unterburg. And if you glance northeast, you'll see the historic Brezelbäckerhaus. This turntable is a fascinating piece of transportation history, reminding us of a time when public transport looked quite different.
