The predecessor of today's bridge was opened in 1872 as part of the "Lower Ruhr Valley Railway". Blown up by the German Wehrmacht in 1945, it was then rebuilt as a single track. Since 1984 it has been a footpath and cycle path that connects the districts of Kupferdreh and Heisingen.

From here I have a beautiful view of the Ruhr and the part of the route that you now have in front or behind you. The bridge is wide enough for hikers and cyclists, there are no cars.
