Beyenburger Brücke, Stone arch bridge in Langerfeld-Beyenburg and Schwelm, Germany.
The Beyenburger Bridge spans across the Wupper River, connecting the municipalities of Wuppertal and Schwelm with its robust stone architecture.
First documented in 1336, the bridge served as a crucial point on the trade route from Cologne through Dortmund to Soest during the late Middle Ages.
The bridge functioned as part of a major pilgrimage path and military road, with the nearby Beyenburg Castle protecting both the crossing and Steinhaus monastery.
The bridge remains an essential connection point in the local road network, linking communities on both sides of the Wupper River valley.
Next to the bridge stood the Porta Westfalica inn, which operated from the 15th century until 1980, marking the border between Berg and Mark regions.
