Wooden Covered Bridge, Forbach, Germany

The original covered bridge had been built in the second half of the 18th century. 150 years later it had to be closed first for traffic and then even for pedestrians due to damage. In the 1950s a tough decision was made: take down the old bridge and reconstruct it from new wood. So strictly speaking the present bridge is not even 60 years old. An inscription in the middle under the roof tells about the rebuilding and the latest renovation.
