Schiffbrücke alte Wuppermündung

The footbridge consists of three connected historical vessels named Einigkeit, Recht, and Freiheit, spanning the old Wupper River mouth at Rhine kilometer 703.

The first documented bridge connection at this location dates back to 1775, known as 'At the Imperial Bridge', later replaced by ferry services.

The three ships forming the bridge structure represent different types of Dutch vessels from the early 20th century: a Rhine clipper, an eel catcher, and a freight sailor.

The bridge operates on weekends from 1 PM and includes a kiosk-café, while special arrangements for visits can be made during weekdays through the supporting association.

This structure remains the last surviving ship bridge of its kind over the Rhine and its tributaries, recognized in the monument directory of Leverkusen since 1983.
