From Jutland to the Elbe, an ancient trade route runs through Schleswig-Holstein, the Ochsenweg, on which merchandise was transported and thousands of oxen were driven south each spring. Its main route in Mittelholstein ran from Rendsburg via Neumünster, Bramstedt, Kaltenkirchen and Ulzburg to the south.

However, the main route was often in poor condition and tolls were collected in Bramstedt. In addition, the ox drivers had to buy up hay as feed for the herds of cattle, which was likely to be in short supply early on the main route. Therefore, the users liked to look for alternative routes.

The Schmalfeld Königsbrücke is a historic arch bridge that leads over the Schmalfelder Au. The bridge, which was made of cuboids, was built in 1785 and operated until 1983. It is possibly the oldest surviving large stone bridge in Schleswig-Holstein.
The name “Königsbrücke” goes back to the Danish King Christian VII, who was the Duke of Schleswig and Holstein at the time the bridge was being built.
