History
When opened in 1894, the line worked as a water counterbalancing funicular with two cars and a passing loop. Water was drawn from Mühleggweiher at its upper station.

The system was replaced in 1950 with a rack railway that operated until 1975.

On May 7, 1975, it was reopened as a funicular. The car was replaced in 2004 and 2018, tracks in 2018.
