Prießnitztalstraße / Kannenhenkel

Imagine standing on a bridge that has witnessed nearly two centuries of history. Look to your left, and you’ll see the majestic sweep of the Elbe River. Did you know this bridge was built in 1840? Back then, it was a marvel of engineering and a beacon of progress. Behind you, about 225 meters to the northwest, is the Wettin Column, another gem from the past. But here, on the Kannenhenkel Bridge, you're standing on a living piece of history. It's seen wars and reconstruction, always standing firm, a silent witness to the city's evolution. Can you feel the old stones beneath your feet? Every step echoes with tales of travelers and stories from times long gone.
