In addition to internal matters and annual reports from the attending cable car operators, five technical presentations were held. The speakers Ralph <strong>Geiger<\/strong> (Baden-Baden Municipal Utilities), Roger <strong>Steffen<\/strong> (Frey), Niklaus <strong>Moser<\/strong> (Garaventa), Christoph <strong>Rittersberger<\/strong> (Transdev), and Dominik <strong>Berndt<\/strong> (Cable Car World) provided insights into the modernization of the Merkur Mountain Railway in Baden-Baden, the new energy storage system ESFOR, current cable car and funicular projects, private operation of cable cars, and the international congress trade fair for mobility at the plus-one level with cable cars, &#8220;Cable Car World.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The conference was rounded off by a city tour in an electric bus and an excursion to the refurbished Merkur Mountain Railway, which has been transporting passengers to Baden-Baden&#8217;s namesake local mountain since 1913. During an extensive technical tour, participants had the opportunity to witness the renewal processes up close and gain insights for their own facilities. The next conference will take place in the first week of July 2024 at a location to be determined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex gap-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-6 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From July 4th to 6th, 2023, the technical operations managers of cable car installations from Germany and Luxembourg gathered in Baden-Baden for their annual conference.
