Cäcilienbrücke, Steel vertical-lift bridge in Oldenburg, Germany
The Cäcilienbrücke spans across the Hunte River and Küsten Canal with its four characteristic towers and mechanical lifting system for water traffic passage.
Built in 1927 to replace an 1832 stone arch bridge, the structure represented advanced engineering capabilities and supported regional transportation development.
The bridge serves as a connection point between Oldenburg's city center and the Osternburg district, integrating different neighborhoods through daily crossings.
Until 2020, the bridge provided passage for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, with a lifting mechanism that elevated 3.5 meters for ship traffic.
The structure stood as Europe's largest vertical-lift bridge during its operational period, featuring a distinct brick expressionist architectural design.
