Plauer Hubbrücke

The Plauer Hubbrücke spans across the water with a steel structure that lifts vertically to a height of 1.86 meters for vessel passage.

Built in 1916 to replace an older drawbridge, the structure survived potential demolition in 1945 and underwent complete reconstruction between 1991 and 1992.

The bridge stands as an architectural heritage monument in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, reflecting the engineering methods and industrial development of the early 20th century.

The bridge connects both sides of Plau am See while allowing maritime traffic to pass through the waterway toward the lock or Lake Plauer See.

This engineering structure holds the record as the highest lifting bridge in Mecklenburg, with its mechanism raising the roadway by 1.86 meters.
