Golden Bridge (Germany)

It bridges the Düssel dammed up there to ponds and crosses a sightline, which once extended over approximately 900 metres (3,000 ft) between Schloss Jägerhof and the Church of St.

In 1804, the landscape architect Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe developed a new layout for the area.

[3] This saw the Nördliche Düssel, which flows through the Hofgarten, being dammed forming two lakes.

In 1809, the narrowing at the boundary of the two lakes was connected by an arched pedestrian bridge.

When work started, it was realised that a more complex renovation was needed than had been anticipated, which delayed the reopening to pedestrian and bicycle traffic until June 2016.
