    One of the seven wonders of Jena.

    The old Camsdorfer Bridge (lat. Pons), a stone arch bridge, existed with its 9 arches since around 1480 and had to give way to a new bridge in 1912. There was also a chapel on top of it; when it was built it was one of the largest bridges in Germany. The newly built bridge was blown up in 1945 by German troops, which was actually pointless as the Americans had already crossed the Saale at another point. During the Soviet occupation zone (1946) the bridge was rebuilt with the help of the Soviet occupiers and was therefore called the “Bridge of German-Soviet Friendship”. It was the first building in Jena to be rebuilt after the war. The new Camsdorf Bridge had to be renovated in 2005. There are plans of the citizens of Jena to rebuild the small chapel on the bridge with an angel on the roof based on the coat of arms of a Munich artist. However, there is only one photo of this striking work of art. (Source: Wikipedia)
