The Dolderbahn (Db or DBZ) is a long rack railway in the Swiss city of Zürich. The line is in Zürich's Hottingen and Fluntern quarters on the south slope of the Adlisberg mountain. The lower terminus of the line is at Römerhof, some from the city centre, where it connects with lines 2 and 3 of the Zürich tramway. The upper terminus at Bergstation Dolderbahn is adjacent to the Dolder Grand Hotel and the Dolder recreation area. Two intermediate stations, at Titlisstrasse and Waldhaus Dolder, are also served. Although there are several rack railways in Switzerland, it is one of the few in the world within a city (others include the Principe–Granarolo rack railway and Stuttgart Rack Railway).
The line is owned by the Dolderbahn-Betriebs AG, which is itself 50% owned by the city of Zürich, and is operated on their behalf by the municipal transport operator Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich. The line was opened in 1895 as a funicular railway, and converted to rack operation in 1973. Because of this history, it is still sometimes erroneously referred to as a funicular or cable car.
