BUGA2031 Urban Land-Use Planning Process: Valley Station, Cable Car, and Suspension Bridge

Information Session on the Publications

Development Plan 1257 – BUGA 3 / Valley Station and Cable Car –

with Land Use Plan Amendment 169

and

Development Plan 1294 – BUGA 2 / Suspension Bridge –

with Land Use Plan Amendment 166

The suspension bridge and the cable car are two of the major projects to be realized as part of the planning for the 2031 Federal Horticultural Show (BUGA). The valley station is planned as a combined cable car and parking garage structure on the parking lot at Boettingerweg—between the stadium and the zoo. From there, it will lead up to the Königshöhe with a stop along the Samba route. Near the Von-der-Heydt Tower, there will be an entrance to the suspension bridge, which is intended to provide the first-ever connection to the Kaiserhöhe.

On November 5, 2026, the Committee for Urban Development, Economy, Construction, and Location Marketing passed the resolution to publish the urban land-use planning procedures. In the next step, the urban land-use plans will be published online and made available for public review at Barmen City Hall.

This publication marks the second public participation phase in the urban land-use planning process and once again offers all citizens the opportunity to comment on the plans. Comments on the urban land-use planning procedures may be submitted via email to bauleitplaene@stadt.wupppertal.debetween November 16, 2026, and December 23, 2026.
