Pfennigbrücke, Pedestrian bridge in Celle, Germany
The Pfennigbrücke stretches across the Aller River, connecting the old town district of Celle with the Dammaschwiesen neighborhood through a steel and concrete structure.
Built in 1900 as a wooden toll bridge charging one pfennig for crossing, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1925 and was replaced with concrete in 1952.
The bridge serves as the finish point for the annual Aller Winter Torch Swimming event, organized by the German Life Saving Association since 1966.
The structure provides direct access for pedestrians and cyclists between the historic center and residential areas, reducing travel time for local inhabitants.
In 2014, the bridge received a color-changing lighting system and an art installation commemorating its history as a toll crossing point.
