A black-and-white look at the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in Wilhelmshaven — one of the city’s best-known landmarks. Opened in 1907, this striking double-leaf steel swing bridge spans the Verbindungshafen and was once built as the largest swing bridge in Germany. These views show both its full silhouette and some of the beautiful industrial details that make it so iconic.
The bridge is described by Wikipedia as a landmark of Wilhelmshaven; it is a riveted steel swing bridge, 159 meters long, opened on 29 August 1907, and was built as the largest swing bridge in Germany at the time.
