Schräglift Webermühle is an inclined lift at Limmat river in Wettingen, Aargau, Switzerland. The lift connects the Webermühle residential area in Neuenhof to the Wettingen railway station above. It has a difference of elevation of 20 m. The lower station is located next to the pedestrian bridge to Webermühle. A footpath along the river leads to Spinnerei Wettingen. The upper station is on Alberich-Zwyssig-Strasse. It is open to the public during daytime.

History

The lift was built by Inauen-Schätti in 2016 when the Webermühle building complex was restored. Initially planned for July 2016, it was open in September 2016. The construction permit was sought in 2011. The de-forested area was compensated.
