On the Zschopau Bridge stands the monument "Zschap mei Geeß" (Zschopau my Jesus), erected in 1932 to commemorate the hardships of the carters of that time.

Due to the frequent damage caused by ice to earlier wooden bridges, this stone bridge was built between 1811 and 1815, inspired by Dresden's Augustus Bridge. Barely completed in its shell, it had to endure its first endurance test in 1813. On its way to the Battle of Leipzig, the main body of the Austrian army, including the entire artillery and the associated ammunition wagons (a total of approximately 1,400 pieces of harness), crossed the bridge.
