Overview

  • Dive into the silent revolution of the streets of Solingen. While other cities suffocated in diesel fumes, this resilient German city held onto its beloved trolleybus – an extensive electric overhead bus network that emerged from the ashes of the Second World War. Accompany the architecture enthusiast Tom and the Solingen woman Alicia through a network of overhead lines, political rebellions, and state-of-the-art battery technology. Discover how a nostalgic piece of transport history became the blueprint for the green mobility of tomorrow.
