Meiningenbrücke Zingst

The Meiningenbrücke is a steel bridge in Zingst that spans across waterways to connect different parts of the coastal landscape and accommodates vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The structure includes a movable section designed to open and allow boat traffic to pass through.

The original structure was part of a railway line that connected the region, but it was dismantled after World War II. A new bridge was later built to restore the connection across the waterway.

The bridge serves as a key passage through the local landscape, connecting different parts of the Zingst peninsula for daily use. Residents and visitors cross it regularly to move between the waterside communities on either side.

The bridge opens several times daily during warmer months to allow boats to pass through the waterway. Visitors should expect occasional brief delays if they cross while boat traffic is passing.

The current bridge was built in 2012 as a temporary solution, but has become a permanent fixture serving daily traffic. Despite its makeshift origins, it has proven reliable and essential for local communities on either side.
