About this audio guide
This guide to the Molkenkur station of the Heidelberg funicular starts with a single object: the narrow door of a wooden car that has climbed this hill since nineteen oh seven. It follows a thread from a mountain tunnel in Austria in November two thousand to an Austrian courtroom with sixteen defendants, and to a safety authority in south-west Germany. Best heard on the platform, facing the car on the upper line.
