he first bridge, of some of the predecessor structures of today's Gustav-Heinemann-Bridge, at this point over the Ruhr, was already mentioned in a document in 1065. In 1642 and again in 1752, the Werdener bridge was destroyed by floods, mostly snow melt water from the Sauerland, the source and tributary area of the Ruhr. On the predecessor bridges, which were probably otherwise little decorated, there was also a Ruhr or Brücktor, similar to a city gate, on the predecessor of the Königsbrücke on the east side towards the city.

Coming from Lake Baldeney, this is a good opportunity to change sides of the Ruhr.
