St. Emmeram's Bridge, Munich, officially inaugurated on May 13, 2005
St. Emmeram (Emmeran), one of the Three Apostles of Bavaria and Bishop of Poitiers, worked in Bavaria around 700. He founded a monastery in Regensburg, from which the former Imperial Abbey of St. Emmeram emerged. He was martyred in Kleinhelfendorf (south of Aying) in 716, falsely accused. He was initially buried in Aschheim and later transferred to Regensburg. Feast of the Catholic saint: September 22.
Notes on the bridge: The 96 m long wooden truss bridge, built on this site in 1978, was completely destroyed by arson in 2002. In 2003, the city council decided to rebuild the bridge on the same site. The new bridge is a delicate truss structure made of wood and steel and is covered over its entire length. It was opened for use on December 22, 2004, and officially inaugurated on May 13, 2005.
