      The begging bridge
      The begging bridge served as a transition for a long time
      over the Schwennigke (Slavic "swine river").
      There are ancient scripts for his name
      two explanations: On the one hand, the poor population in the area is said to have used the bridge to go begging to nearby Prussia and vice versa.


      The second variant tells that the bridge was repeatedly damaged by the annually recurring floods and that money for the renewal and repair had to be given from the municipal treasury or public collections (begging) had to be raised.

      Which of the two variants corresponds to the truth cannot be verified.
