Klevendeicher Drehbrücke, Steel turning bridge in Moorrege, Germany

The Klevendeicher Bridge consists of three riveted steel sections resting on five supports, with a wooden plank deck secured by iron bands.

Constructed in 1887, this structure stands as the second oldest operational turning bridge in Germany, connecting the Haseldorfer and Seestermüher marshlands.

The bridge demonstrates the engineering capabilities of the 19th century through its mechanical pivot system, which allows a 90-degree rotation for maritime passage.

Located at Klevendeicher Chaussee, the bridge underwent renovations from 1996 to 1999 for 1,380,000 euros and additional restoration in 2016 for 818,000 euros.

While the original manual handwheel remains visible on the south side, an electric motor now powers the turning mechanism of this single-lane crossing.
