Re: Thursday Bridge Blogging
(

Your bridge reminds me of a bridge in my home town, Bad Kreuznach in south-west Germany:
The bridge was most likely built in 1311. I do not know exactly when the bridge houses were built, but they were first mentioned in a document from 1495. I'm not into the history of architecture, but I guess for the 15th century, this was impressive engineering. In the 30 years war, one of the houses was hit by a Swedish cannonball. But back then, weapon technology was not that destructive: today the cannonball can still be seen in one of the walls.
Here
you can see it via webcam.

BTW, about 20 meters left of the bridge, there is the Paulskirche where Karl Marx and Jenny von Westphal married in 1843.
