fourth-oldest bridge over the Rhine in Germany, blasted in March 1945 by German pioneers, rebuilt in 1948-1949, in modified form, the bridgeheads were two towers, today there are available only on the West side; She should be cleaned up soon<br><br>The steel construction of the South Bridge was produced during the second world war by Gustavsburg. It is a SKR bridge, a standardized components bridge system (a so-called bridge device), which can be used as a construction kit. Originally were these parts for the replacement of a blown-up bridge over the Dnieper River. After destruction of the South Bridge against the war, the parts for the South Bridge found application. The screwed dismountable bridge became a geniete permanent bridge, which is still two-lane rail traffic on one of the most busiest place of in Germany. (Source wpm)
