Here you drive over a historical bridge that is operated by people. It takes a while for it to spin and adjust everything manually, but it's very interesting to have seen.

Construction work on the port began on May 10, 1903. At the same time, work on building the port railway was started. Since the harbor was to be created without flooding, about 1 million cubic meters had to be built. Filling material can be brought up. Since there was no Rhine bridge yet, everything had to be procured inland in a detour. A Mannheim company (Brün - Billfinger) was commissioned with the earthworks. The swing bridge was built by a Duisburg company.

According to Wikipedia, the bridge can also be lifted and rotated without machine assistance, with human power (4 people).
