 footbridge, interesting place, historical building

Built in 1900/1901 the bridge was rebuilt on the pillars of the previous bridge. dating back to 1870/1871. The bridge, which had a 3.5 ton payload at the time of opening, served both motorized and non-motorized traffic to cross the Rhine. In 1927 the damaged bridge was repaired and raised, the payload could be increased to 6 tons in the course of this work. In 1975, a new concrete Rhine bridge was built about 200 meters south of the old Rhine bridge, so that the old Rhine bridge has only been accessible to non-motorized traffic ever since. After the renovations in the 1950s and 1980s, the last major renovation to date took place in 2009/2010.
