Drehbrücke Lübeck, Steel swing bridge in Lübeck, Germany.
The Drehbrücke combines steel construction with mechanical engineering, allowing the structure to rotate and accommodate both water and road traffic in central Lübeck.
Built in 1892 during the industrial revolution, this bridge emerged as a solution to increasing maritime trade needs in the former Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
The bridge stands as a protected monument of German engineering heritage, reflecting the technological capabilities and architectural preferences of the late 19th century.
The bridge serves as a vital connection point between city sections, permitting vehicles and pedestrians to cross while rotating to let ships pass underneath.
The mechanical rotating mechanism of the bridge remains functional after 130 years, demonstrating the durability of 19th-century German engineering techniques.
