    Eiserne Brücke, bei der es lohnt, auch die Details zu beachten. Es gibt Einiges zu entdecken. Dass es sich bei dieser Brücke um eine Drehbrücke handelt, werden nicht alle Besucher bemerken, die sie überqueren, denn meist ist in ihrer Funktion als Brücke zu sehen. Heute habe ich sie nach langer Zeit wieder in ihrer Funktion als Drehbrücke gesehen, weil ein größeres Boot in den Rheinauhafen einlaufen wollte.

    I crossed this bridge with my girlfriend during a holiday in Cologne. The movable metal structure connects the part of the city on land to an island on the river. On this plot there is the chocolate museum and a new residential complex in a modern style. During the Christmas period you can find many stalls in the typical markets in this area.

    Nice bridge that brings you to the chocolate museum. It is very busy during Christmas times.

    A great bridge, although unfortunately I have never seen this swing bridge in action. It is definitely worth seeing and a great photo opportunity. It's best to start or end here at the bridge towards Kranhäuser.

    The Cologne swing bridge over the Rheinauhafen on the left bank of the Rhine between the Malakoff Tower and the Imhoff Chocolate Museum is Cologne's oldest bridge over Rhine water. It was opened on August 5, 1896, when the branch of the Rhine was expanded into a port. The industrial monument was completely overhauled in 1986/87 and is now part of the Imhoff Chocolate Museum Foundation, to which it also provides access. Source Wikipedia

    Makes an easy access to the island with the chocolate museum. Sometimes there will be a bike taxa here. It's a cute bridge and there's a really nice hotdog/German sausage cart next to the bridge with the sweetest service and really good sausages. Can only recommend going to these places!

    The historic swing bridge is a monument to Cologne's technological history that is truly worth seeing. Especially together with the Malakoff Tower. A beautiful place right on the Rhine.

    Immer wenn wir Spazieren gehen Richtung Stadt ist die Drehbrücke dabei. Schokoladenmuseum ausichtsplattform, und dann immer an der peer lang schön zum spazieren.

    (Translated by Google) Interesting for technology freaks when it is in operation. Annoying for pedestrians and cyclists when you stand in front of a closed bridge and have to wait for the passage. But it rarely happens 😀 (Original) Für Technikfreaks interessant, wenn sie in Betrieb ist. Für Fuß- und Radfahrer ärgerlich, wenn man vor geschlossener Brücke steht und auf die Durchfahrt warten muss. Kommt aber selten vor 😀

    (Translated by Google) Very old, very beautiful bridge, which to open turns all the way to one side. (Original) Ponte muito antiga, muito bonita, que para abrir roda toda para um lado.

    I'm only giving it three stars because this bridge opened when we drove our sailing ship into the harbor; but we were then told during the refueling process that it was making unusual noises when it was closed and that opening it again would be too much of a risk. So we had to lay our masts at comparatively short notice, but this only posed a moderate hurdle for us because we had an experienced crew. This entertained passers-by and onlookers; Despite all this, this maneuver would have been extremely complex with a ship that did not have a fast mast laying facility. It is therefore highly recommended to keep the structure as operational as possible for this function by opening it regularly.

😠 How can it be that the renovation is taking so long? In China they would have finished this two years ago. Why can't our oh-so-modern Germany manage this?

🫤 One of the few bridges in Cologne. There is always a lot of traffic here. Unfortunately, the cycle paths on both sides are extremely bumpy (see photo). Unfortunately, I've slipped a few times as a result. Otherwise, I would like to see a guard rail for cyclists and pedestrians to feel safer. Otherwi...
