Originally built next to a ford as a wooden bridge over the Gera, the castle bridge was first mentioned in the 13th century as a long bridge between the castle mill and the new mill.

The construction of the first stone bridge followed after the town fire of 1736. However, this was a mixed construction, consisting of two vaults on both banks and a three-span wooden bridge in between. During a renovation in 1862, the middle part was replaced by three more stone vaults and the bridge was widened to 10 m. The bridge axis was buckled.

The Schlösserbrücke is located in the Schlösserstraße in Erfurt and leads over the Breitstrom, a branch of the Gera. During the Second World War the bridge was badly damaged and later rebuilt and reinforced. Today there is even a tram over it. Many day trippers and lovers immortalize their love with a lock and thus live up to the name of the bridge.

You certainly can't go through it by boat.
