Rhine bridge, Covered wooden bridge in Diessenhofen, Switzerland.
The Rhine Bridge is a covered wooden bridge at Diessenhofen that crosses the river to connect Switzerland with Germany. The structure features a protective wooden covering and serves both vehicle and pedestrian traffic between the two countries.
This bridge was built in 1816 and demonstrates early 19th century construction techniques. It has remained in continuous use since completion while maintaining its original wooden form.
The bridge represents traditional craftsmanship from its era and stands as a symbol of the connection between two neighboring regions. Visitors can observe the careful woodwork and covered design that reflect how communities once built structures to last across generations.
The bridge is open to both cars and pedestrians and offers a direct border crossing between the two towns. Those wishing to see the structure can visit anytime to observe its wooden construction up close.
The covered design is a rare form specifically created to protect the wooden structure from weather and extend its lifespan. This approach was innovative for its time and is now protected as a nationally important cultural property.
