From the wooden bridge you have a beautiful view over the Lahn and the old town of Marburg.
As records show, the Hirsefeldsteg in Marburg was only built in 1913. There had already been wooden footbridges over the Lahn before that. The creation of the Hirsefeldsteg at the beginning of the 20th century is ultimately thanks to a private donor initiative. and soon the footbridge was transferred to the city of Marburg along with the maintenance costs.
This bridge only had a 1.5 m passage and was replaced in 2010 by a new bridge with a 3.5 m passage.

Very early in the morning there is no one to be found on the otherwise very busy bridge, which makes the whole thing special.

Lovers seal their love here with locks on the railing, horror fans enjoy cobwebs in the struts at dusk. And the view of the Lahnwehr with the old town in the background also makes this bridge one of the top 10 photo spots.
