"The spectacle left us on a wild pursuit"

In a recent letter to the editor of Rundschau, Ulrich Reinhoff expressed his appreciation for a heartwarming gesture towards the city of Oberhausen. The installation in question is a replica of a section of the Suspension Railway, a unique feature of the city, complete with a small model of the famous elephant, Tuffi, hanging from the ceiling structure near the replica.

The Suspension Railway, a beloved symbol of Oberhausen, has now found its way into the heart of the Ruhr region, as evidenced by this installation. The bridge spanning a street in Oberhausen demonstrates that connections between cities can be built without an official partnership.

For visitors who have connections in Oberhausen, this installation is more than just a tourist attraction. It is a heartwarming gesture showing appreciation for the city they hold dear. The sight of the installation gave Ulrich Reinhoff's girlfriend goosebumps, as she used to live there before moving to a new city.

The letter from Ulrich Reinhoff does not provide any new information about who installed the copy of the Suspension Railway and the miniature figure of Tuffi in Oberhausen. However, it is clear that the affection for the Suspension Railway extends beyond city borders.
