The bridge was built by pioneers of the Reichswehr. It has been renovated several times.
You should definitely try out the bank at your side.

The pioneer bridge can be found in the southeast of the Aukrug nature park and connects the two communities of Fitzbek and Brokstedt. Before 1930, the pioneer bridge was just a footbridge that led over the Stör and enabled the two communities to have a faster traffic route. However, when a French prisoner of war and a horse-drawn carriage broke in there in 1941, the bridge was completely renewed and was henceforth known as the Pioneer Bridge. However, the bridge has never lost its original character of a wooden bridge, even if the wooden supports have now been replaced by steel girders in order to be able to carry motor vehicles.

Anyone who has ever done a canoe tour on the Stör has certainly passed the Pioneer Bridge. But a visit to the historic river crossing is also worthwhile.

Since 2006, the residents of Fitzbek and Brokstedt have been celebrating a bridge festival every 2 years with music, drinks and grilled food. In 2010, the two municipalities placed a 500 kg boulder on the bridge, which has served as a signpost for the two municipalities ever since. A trip to the Pioneer Bridge can be ideally combined with a canoe tour and / or a subsequent visit to a nearby restaurant.
