DE: Historische Steinbrücke
Erbaut 1648, galt Sie damals als Verbindung des Burgfleckens mit dem angrenzenden Wald.
Nach Zerstörung durch ein Hochwasser 1681 wurde die Brücke 1825 neu errichtet. In den letzten Kriegstagen 1945 wurden die Brückenbögen gesprengt um den Vormarsch der Alliierten Truppen aufzuhalten.
Der Wiederaufbau erfolgte 1949 entsprechend der hidtorischen Form. Heute dient die Steinbrücke als Verbindung zum Wohngebiet "Am Brückenstein" und zu einem attraktiven Wanderwegenetz.
