Hundebrücke, Heritage bridge in Essen, Germany
The Hundebrücke combines a stone arch structure crossing the Deilbach stream and a steel truss segment spanning over railway tracks.
Built in 1880, the bridge served to transport stones from a nearby quarry using narrow-gauge wagons called 'Hunde' to the Prince Wilhelm Railway.
The bridge stands as part of the Deilbach Valley Museum landscape and represents the Industrial Heritage Trail of the Ruhr region.
The bridge connects the districts of Byfang and Kupferdreh, providing a passage for pedestrians and cyclists over both the stream and railway lines.
The steel lattice girder construction represents an engineering design patented by Ithiel Town, marking early steel bridge construction in Germany.
