The new Hungerburgbahn was put into operation in December 2007, after two years of construction.
The renowned architect Zaha Hadid, who had already planned the Bergisel ski jump in Innsbruck, won an open competition to design the stations for the line. The project was financed and implemented as a public private partnership between the city of Innsbruck, STRABAG and Leitner AG.
The company will operate the train for a limited time, after which the infrastructure and operations return to the municipality.
