Walter Süskindbrug, Double drawbridge at Nieuwe Herengracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Walter Süskindbrug spans across the Nieuwe Herengracht canal with a total width of 5.50 meters and three distinct clearance sections for water traffic.
The location has featured a bridge since 1662, transitioning from a wooden structure to an iron bascule bridge in 1874 before the current construction in 1972.
Named in 1972 to honor Walter Süskind, who helped Jewish citizens escape during World War II, with a commemorative plaque on the southern railing.
The bridge serves pedestrians and cyclists, connecting the area near the Portuguese Synagogue with the district containing the Hermitage Museum.
The bridge house, formerly used by bridge keepers until 2017, now functions as a hotel suite through the SWEETS hotel collection.
