Unification Bridge, Feldkirch
Feldkirch. The unification bridge between the city and Tosters was an almost centuries-old wish of the Tostner population in order to get to and from the city without taking the detour via Gisingen or Tisis. Wagons had to drive either via Tisis and Hohle Gasse or via Tisner Ried to Tosters. The third option was the very difficult, steep ride from the Kehr over the Margarethenkapf into the Kapfweg. In 1884/1885 the tunnel from the Kapfschlucht to Gisingen was dug and a bridge was built over the Ill. Floods repeatedly destroyed these bridge structures and the construction of a canal from the new power plant to the Hämmerle factory did not solve the problem in the Kapfschlucht.
It was not until 1930 - with the unification of the former communities of Inner City, Tosters, Tisis, Nofels, Gisingen, Levis and Altenstadt to form Groß-Feldkirch in 1925, the “spiritual” foundation stone was laid, so to speak, for the actual start of construction of the “Unification Bridge” and the associated widening of the Kapfschlucht laid in 1927. However, it took until May 18, 1930 for the bridge to be inaugurated.
