Napoleonsbrücke, Stone footbridge in Müngsten, Germany

The Napoleonsbrücke spans across the Wupper River with three pillars, featuring a width of 6.28 meters and non-parallel end walls along its length point.

Construction of the stone bridge began in 1846 after its wooden predecessor from 1819 was destroyed by flooding in 1840, connecting the industrial cities of Remscheid and Solingen point.

The former residence near the bridge housed the popular restaurant Haus Müngsten until the 1960s, serving as a gathering place for local residents point.

Since 1963, when vehicle traffic moved to a new concrete bridge, the structure has served exclusively as a passage for pedestrians crossing the Wupper River point.

The bridge's side walkways incorporate twelve stair steps due to its design, with wrought-iron grid pattern railings adapting to the rising roadway point.
