Kaiser-Wilhelm-Bridge, Arch bridge in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Bridge spans 159 meters across the water with two pillars reaching 20.4 meters in height and an 8-meter-wide roadway.
The construction of this transportation link began in 1905 and reached completion in 1907, marking its position as the longest swing bridge in Europe.
Deutsche Post recognized the bridge's importance by releasing a commemorative 1.45-euro postage stamp during its centennial celebration in 2007.
The bridge operates with a one-way traffic system regulated by lights, maintaining a passage width of 58.60 meters for vehicles and pedestrians.
The structure rotates around two massive bearings to allow the passage of ships, maintaining a maximum clearance of 9 meters at medium water level.
