Guided Story
Feel that breeze sweeping over the Rhine? This bridge has stood through some incredible times. Look up, those steel arches tell a story of engineers daring to span the river. Since 1870, a bridge has connected this spot, vital for railway transport. The structure you see now was recognized as a monument in 1987. Just 54 meters west, behind you, are the remnants of the old Hammer Bridge. It once linked the cities, standing quietly as a witness to the industrial age. Close your eyes for a moment, and you might just hear the echoes of old trains rumbling past.
