    The Hüxtertorbrücke connects the Hüxterdamm on the eastern part of the old town island with the Hüxtertorallee and Falkenstraße.

    In contrast to the three other Lübeck city gates, little is known about the so-called Hüxtertor. Not even the year of construction has been handed down. It was probably built together with the city wall in the 13th century and originally probably had the shape of a gate tower with a square floor plan. You had to cross the Hüxterdamm, which was built on with mills and which has dammed the Wakenitz river at this narrow point since the 13th century, to get into the city through the Hüxtertor.

    The Hüxtertor Bridge has earned a national record.

    It was named the worst bridge in Germany in a test by the German Automobile Club (ADAC).

    Rust has so damaged the structure over the years that it is in need of renovation. It is old, after all, it was built as a steel arch bridge on the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. That was in 1898. After all, we can admit without envy that this old architecture is probably much more durable than the cheap prestressed concrete craze of our time.
