Totenbrücke Rothenkirchen

The great drought in the summer of 2022 can still be seen on the Haune, although it had been raining for the past few days.

The so-called "Dead Bridge" leads from Rothenkirchen to the cemetery across the Haune. It is the only surviving stone pedestrian bridge from the old days in the Fulda region. Today it has 3 arch openings and an ice pillar. An inscription stone with the number 1861 is walled in. In 1985/86 the dilapidated bridge was demolished and renewed true to the original.

The Bridge of Death - it gets its name because in ancient times the dead were brought over it to the Rothenkirchen cemetery behind it - is the only stone pedestrian bridge in the Fulda region that has been preserved even after reconstruction
