This rare railroad drawbridge was built according to the system of American engineer William Donald Scherzer between 1946 and 1954 and is a listed building. It can be visited on the day of the open monument.

The Oldenburg bascule railway bridge crosses the Hunte, which is 60 meters wide. It is a listed building.

The bridge serves the two railway lines Oldenburg – Bremen and Oldenburg – Osnabrück. It was built between 1946 and 1954 near the Oldenburg railway water tower as a replacement for the swing bridge from 1866, which was destroyed in 1945. It is for train traffic (double-track, with overhead lines since electrification in 1982) as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

Quietly wait until the bridge rises. That's amazing, and the bridge is pretty old. But it still "works" yes.
