Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle lapping of the Moselle? Right here, where you're standing, the Younger Mosel Crane was once the hub of trade. Look up and see those magnificent jibs stretching into the sky like open arms. Imagine them lifting hefty wine barrels from ships. Behind you, across the river, is the Roman Bridge, standing firm for centuries. When this crane was built in 1774, it marked the dawn of a new technological era. But it also witnessed the sweeping changes of industrialization. Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere and feel the history etched into these stones.
