21-seconds: the city’s Schwebebahn (suspension railway) celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. Wuppertal Völklinger Straße, 26 July 2026.
Thanks for your comment. It’s a fun mural that cleverly uses geometry and perspective; the grey light on the day also helps with the view. As Bausch grew up in the region and then worked and died in Wuppertal, the city has many murals dedicated to her and her life’s work. I’ll have to come back to the city to get more coverage of those artworks, and to examine the history of the Engels family, as well as the Bayer company. The suspension railway almost (almost!) feels like an afterthought.
The Pina Bausch website has been especially valuable for its archive of videos, particularly with “Rite of Spring” and “Café Müller.”
Hi, Valerie. For a first-time visitor, I found it difficult to tear myself away from spending more time up and down the Schwebebahn. I discovered there’s for me to find in Wuppertal, so I’d like to come back. Thanks for your comment and for stopping by!

I was just thinking of how I’d like to see the Pina Bausch Rite of Spring—cool mural!
