Hennersdorf Covered Wooden Bridge

Bridge built over the Zschopau in 1840. In addition to the wooden construction, the slate-covered hipped roof stands out. The building was restored in 1971 and is now a listed building. Cars can drive on the bridge; the Zschopautalbahn crosses directly in front of it.

In Augustusburger district Hennersdorf is the 1840 after plans of Christian Friedrich Uhlig built and restored in 1971 roofed wooden bridge that leads across the Zschopau. The listed bridge is a historically very valuable architectural monument of the history of traffic. It stands on stone pillars in the Zschopau and has a slated hipped roof. The roadway consists of wooden planks. The bridge can be crossed by car and serves the transport connection between the districts Hennersdorf and Kunnersdorf. A comparable covered wooden bridge can be found in nearby Hohenfichte.

The covered wooden bridge is a listed building in Hennersdorf.
The building, built in 1840 according to plans by Christian Friedrich Uhlig, has a hipped roof covered with slate over the stretched hanging structure. In the two externally boarded half-timbered walls there is a double hanging structure with a span of 16.5 meters in each field. The struts and hanging columns each consist of two pieces of wood. The three fields of each double hanging structure are additionally divided by a single hanging structure.

The approximately 36 meter long and 4 meter wide wooden bridge spans the Zschopau in two fields with a clear width of 15 meters, approximately 4 meters above the normal level. On the east side, the road crosses the Zschopautalbahn directly in front of the bridge portal, so that the bridge is temporarily closed by railway barriers on both sides. In 1971 the bridge was restored and the roadway was reinforced. In research, the important classicist traffic monument is often compared with the similar bridge in Leubsdorf-Hohenfichte, built in 1832.
