Foto Old Bridge (Heidelberg)

2018 - Germany - Heidelberg - Alte Brücke oleh Ted's photos - For Me & You

A view from our hotel of the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke) on the Neckar River. The Karl Theodor Bridge (Karl-Theodor-Brücke), commonly known as the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke), is an arch bridge in Heidelberg. It connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district of the city on the opposite bank. The current bridge, made of Neckar sandstone and the ninth built on the site, was constructed in 1788 by Elector Charles Theodore, and is one of the best-known landmarks and tourist destinations in Heidelberg. Built of Neckar valley sandstone in the 18th the Old Bridge is one of the last large examples of classical stone bridge building. The precursors of today's Old Bridge were all made of wood. As they were continually being destroyed by wars and floods, Prince Karl Theodor ordered the construction of a stone bridge across the river (1786-1788). Near the end of the World War II the Old Bridge was partly destroyed. The German armed forces bust the 5th and 6th bridge piles so they could avoid the A erican milotary from marching in. Unfortunately that turned out to be useless as the American invaded anyway. After the war the bridge was restored and opened in 1947. Unlike many German cities, Heidelberg was not destroyed by air raids in World War II and therefore still has original buildings from the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance. It has been suggested that the city escaped substantial bombing because the US Army wanted to use the city as a garrison after the war (there remains a large US base outside the city today). In fact as Heidelberg was neither an industrial centre nor transport hub there was nothing of particular strategic interest to the Allies, who focused extensively on bombing nearby industrial cities such as Mannheim.
