Information by Heidi Zahir:<br>The stone bridge, whose name stems from the immediately South "Star", a former early baroque castle garden, runs east of the castle on the ILM in the Leibniz Avenue. It was called Castle bridge. The star bridge was built during the reconstruction of the Castle by Wilhelm IV. 1651-53 after the draft and headed by Johann Moritz Richter. It is the oldest preserved bridge of Weimar. Three arches in the Spandrels relief vaults of 2.75 and 2.20 m in diameter (flood culverts) bearing span the river. A fourth, smaller arch was added later on the East side. He replaced the existing there initially wooden drawbridge, whose chain pillar crowned with balls are still on the bridge. The bridge railing created in 1820 to Clemens Wenzel louse Coudray. A stairs passage leading down into the bridge to the Park was walled up and reopened during the renovation of the bridge 1994-95. Shortly below the bridge ended the raft ditch distributed to 1800. Little upstream on the today's natural bridge of the ILM mid-17th century diverted, he was approaching infused wood on the campsites on the right bank of the river South and North of the bridge of the star.
