Joes Kloppenburgbrug, Municipal monument bridge at Singel Canal, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Bridge Number 5 connects Raamsteeg with Oude Spiegelstraat, spanning over the Singel canal in central Amsterdam with a plate bridge design.

The bridge site dates back to 1599 when Pieter Bast designed a drawbridge, later transformed into a permanent structure visible on Gerrit de Broen's 1737 map.

Named after Joes Kloppenburg in 2016, the bridge stands as a memorial against violence following his tragic death near Voetboogstraat in August 1996.

The bridge provides an essential pedestrian connection between two streets while offering views of traditional Dutch canal houses and antique shops.

A commemorative nameplate installed in September 2017 marks this crossing point as a symbol for community safety and social awareness.
