    the bridge with historical background

      The Broom-Makers' Bridge was built in 1993 by the Marklendorf Broom-Makers' Guild. It connects the Aller Cycle Path alternative route between Marklendorf and Buchholz, and also connects the Marklendorf Circular Trail to the Buchholz Circular Trail. For cyclists, it is an important crossing point and a beautiful place to experience the Aller landscape. Right next to the bridge are the so-called Rieselwiesen (rain meadows), which were created in 1934. Initially by unemployed people from the city of Hanover, and later by the Reich Labor Service, they were intended to ensure sufficient irrigation of the Aller meadows. When the Aller barrage was built, the water level in the meadows below the weir dropped. To balance the water supply, a ditch was dug to regulate the water level. To this day, more or less water can be channeled over the meadows, causing the meadows to "trickle." On a cycle tour along the Aller, the Besenbinder Bridge is not only a practical crossing, but also an exciting place where the history of technology, traditional craftsmanship and landscape conservation come together.
