      This Wümme crossing has been used since 1670 for the "old post route" on the Harburg-Nienburg-Amsterdam route between the Welle and Visselhövede stations.
      At that time it was still a deep ford, which served the advance of the French troops in the Seven Years' War from 1756 onwards. In 1814 the first wooden bridge with solid access dams was built. The farmers from Todtshorn were always used for maintenance on this side, and those from Wesseloh for the other side. The whole complex was washed away in 1830 when the snow melted heavily. The predecessor of today's bridge was built in 1864.
