[GER] Hamburg hat rund 2500 Brücken. Die älteste, erhaltenen Brücke ist die Zollenbrücke. Sie wurde 1633 erbaut und führt über das ehemalige Fleet der Gröningerstraße. Die 25 Meter lange Brücke hat drei unterschiedlich große Bögen aus Sandsteinquadern. Über einem Pfeiler auf der Seite des Nikolaifleets ist in Stein das große Hamburger Wappen zu sehen. Den Namen hat die Zollenbrücke vom damalig hier stehenden Zollhaus des Grafen von Holstein.
[ENG] Hamburg has about 2500 bridges. The oldest preserved bridge is the Zollenbrücke. It was built in 1633 and crosses the former canal of Gröningerstraße. The 25 metre long bridge has three arches of sandstone blocks of different sizes. Above a pillar on the side of the Nikolaifleet the large coat of arms of Hamburg can be seen in stone. The name Zollenbrücke derives from the customs house of Count von Holstein which stood here at that time.
