Roman Bridge (Römerbrücke) in Trier

The Roman bridge, which leads across the Moselle in Trier, is the oldest bridge in Germany. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Roman bridge in Trier is the oldest bridge in Germany. Since 1986 it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

My photos are from the July 21 flood, when terrible floods in the Eifel and the Ahr made people homeless and even killed them. The Moselle had a very, very strong current and all sorts of plants and objects rushed downstream.
The Romans already renovated their first bridge, and so much experience went into the second one that the pillars can withstand such flooding even after 2,000 years.
The four ambulances probably drove to Ehrang Hospital, which had to be evacuated. Even those who had recently undergone surgery could be saved. They weren't the only four who drove past the bridge with flashing lights.
