The Ohrenbrücke is one of the oldest streets in Ingelheim am Rhein. Around 1900, Edelgasse led through the stately Ohrenbrücker Gate and on to the Selz River. Even today, it's still a pleasure to walk through this impressive gate.

INGELHEIM - Where did the ear bridge in Ober-Ingelheim get its name from? Actually quite banal, as Raimund Best from "Pro Ingelheim" explained during the themed tour around the Ohrbrücker Tor. "The two bridges that used to cross the Selz looked like ears." Today's crossing no longer has anything to do with this association; it was built much later. Before a bridge was built at the end of Edelgasse, over which wagons could also drive, the Selz was crossed in this area via a flat spot (ford). At high tide, however, the ford was impassable. allgemeine-zeitung.de/lokales/ingelheim/ingelheim/woher-die-ohrenbrucke-ihren-namen-hat_18045112
