Klappbrücke Nehringen

The Klappbrücke Nehringen is a wooden road bridge spanning the Trebel River between Mecklenburg and Vorpommern. The structure features a mechanical bascule system that allows boats to pass through the waterway.

The bridge was built in 1911 and replaced older crossings at this location. Between 1983 and 1990 it underwent major restoration work that preserved its original mechanical systems.

The bridge represents how neighboring regions worked together on a shared crossing point. Visitors can observe this collaboration reflected in the structure itself.

The bridge accepts only vehicles up to three tons and a maximum width of two meters. Travelers should note these restrictions before crossing and plan alternative routes if needed.

The bascule system operates by hand crank rather than motors, showing the craftsmanship of its era. This manual operation makes it a living example of early engineering skill.
