Tips

The bridge saint Nepomuk from 1755 belonged to the former Rabaliatti Bridge or Schulzen Bridge. The bridge no longer exists today. It was designed in 1752 by Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti - one of the court architects of Elector Carl Theodor.

The saint's inscription reads:

Hoc in ponte tua ex voto stat imago locata sit coelestis huic paxque salusque loco. )

We put your figure on our Speyer Bridge. Pray for us, O Patron St. John of Nepomuck. For the greater honor of God, whom God wants to have honored from his own, made, and set up, 16th May.

The highlighted letters of the inscription form a chronogram of the year 1755.
