    Truss bridge over the Aller between Südwinsen and Winsen (Aller). Under the bridge is a beautiful park with a jetty

      The Allerbrücke in Winsen offers a good view and is one of the entrances to the Allerradweg.

        Right and left of the bridge, nice view. Next to it is the Winsen jetty

          In addition to the road, there is also a path for cyclists and pedestrians across the bridge. From there you have a beautiful view of the Aller.

            Around the bridge there are several ways to get directly to the Aller...

              It is assumed that there were already bridges in Winsen (Aller) around the year 1000. Winsen used to be at the intersection of two important trade routes: the north-south military route came from Lübeck and led to Frankfurt am Main - the east-west connected Bremen and Braunschweig.

              There was heavy traffic on both streets. At Winsen there was a ford through the Aller and that alone was an attraction.

              Around 1300, the Duke of Celle had a wooden bridge built, making Winsen even more important. After the bridge was destroyed in the Battle of Winsen in 1388, the Duke of Celle had it rebuilt and guarded by a protective force consisting of 45 armed men and 20 archers. Since the old wooden bridges did not have a long lifespan, the wood soon rotted, ships & ice damaged it, information about the construction/reconstruction of the bridges and maintenance is missing for a long time.

              The wooden drawbridge built in 1726 crossed the Aller until 1924.

              In 1924, the dilapidated, 200-year-old drawbridge was replaced by an iron structure - the Hindenburg Bridge. It was blown up by German troops in April 1945 to make the English advance more difficult.

              A temporary bridge was built under the direction of the English troops within a few days. The Bailey Bridge, the English Bridge near the Winsern, now makes it possible to cross the Aller.

              The current bridge was built in 1963. The construction costs amount to 850,000 DM. In 1984 the nameless bridge is widened.

                On the Winsen side there is a small and a large jetty where you can put your feet in the water. There are also several benches, rubbish bins and often a Dixi.

                  Shortly after the Allerbrücke you will reach Winsen/Aller.
                  From there there is a beautiful view of the Aller.

                    The Aller is crossed at Winsen. You don't notice anything about a city. The bike path is beautifully laid out.

                      At the jetty you can sit right on the water

                        In summer, it's worth leaving the Aller cycle path briefly over the bridge to enjoy a delicious ice cream right at the beginning of the city.
