The Wiecker wooden bascule bridge was built in 1887 based on the Dutch model. The bascule bridge leads over the river Ryck, which flows a few hundred meters further east into the Dänische Wiek, the southern part of the Greifswalder Bodden. It connects the two districts of Wieck and Eldena of the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald.
The Ryck estuary has been populated since the Cistercian monastery Eldena was founded in 1199, but it wasn't until the end of the 19th century that concrete plans for the construction of a bridge were implemented. Until then, for almost seven centuries, it was only possible to translate by boat or ferry. Even today, the next bridge is only at the end of the navigable section of the Ryck at the height of the old town of Greifswald, about five kilometers away.
A great night scene, the mind is overwhelmed.
@mohor Thank you, but apparently few people like this. The picture doesn't get a lot of votes
