EN: The Staldenbrücke stands in a steep area in the west of Burgdorf near the town church.
The bridge has a single arch, the railing is decorated with the municipal coat of arms in the middle.
Special about this bridge is the fact that the Staldenstrasse starts under the bridge and crosses itself after a curve of about 200 meters. It is therefore popularly called "Dr Schnägg" (the snail). In addition, an open-air rock concert, the "Rockwall under the Bridge", has recently started being held under the bridge as part of an annual neighborhood festival.
DE: Die Staldenbrücke steht in einem steilen Gebiet im Westen von Burgdorf in der Nähe der Stadtkirche.
Die Brücke hat einen einzelnen Bogen, das Geländer ist in der Mitte mit dem Stadtwappen geschmückt.
Das besondere an der Brücke ist, dass die Staldenstrasse unter der Brücke beginnt und sich nach einer Kurve von etwa 200 Metern selbst überquert.

Ausserdem findet seit kurzem im Rahmen eines jährlichen Quartierfestes unter der Brücke ein Open-Air Rockkonzert statt, das "Rockwall under the Bridge".
