The Hungerburgbahn is a hybrid funicular in Innsbruck that links the city center with the Hungerburg district. Zaha Hadid designed its stations after winning an open competition. The article names no style. The current line opened on December 1, 2007, replacing a line that opened on September 12, 1906 and closed on December 8, 2005 after public opposition.
The City of Innsbruck built it with Leitner AG and STRABAG in a public-private partnership. The line is 1.838 km long and climbs 288 m, with four stations: Kongresshaus, Löwenhaus, Alpenzoo and Hungerburg. It crosses the Inn on a 242 m cable-stayed steel bridge and runs through two tunnels. Each car carries 130 people, and the compartments tilt to keep floors level.
The old base rotunda was preserved and now houses the Talstation cultural center. Core-zone transport tickets are accepted. The article gives no hours.
