The bridge was built in 1766, and the Alte Furt is very close by.

The Wesenitz flows here in the valley:

The Wesenitz rises in the Hohwald, part of the Lusatian mountains, at an altitude of 515 m on the Valtenberg from the mouth of the Valentin Erbstollen, an old mine.

It flows through Neukirch, Bischofswerda, near Stolpen and passes the Lausitzer fault near Dürrröhrsdorf at the so-called Teufelskanzel, where it enters the Elbe sandstone. Here it flows through the Liebethaler Grund. It flows into the Elbe in the Pratzschwitz district of Pirna. The preglacial Wesenitz may have had its course in Oberneukirch to the east through the Wilthe valley basin into the Spree, moraines and gravel masses at the north foot of the Dahrener Berg therefore ensured the course to the west today.

With a length of 83.6 kilometers, the Wesenitz is one of the longer right-hand tributaries of the Elbe.

Wesenitz Bridge with Stone Cross in Lohmen.

Information:

The inscription "Gem. Lohmen/Mühlsdorf" on the crossbeam indicates that it was used in more recent times to mark field boundaries. The road bridge over the Wesenitz River was built in 1766. On the parapet is a cross stone with a base in Baroque style, of architectural and local historical significance.
