Klus Bridge

The Klusdamm served in the Middle Ages to connect Magdeburg with the East Elbe regions. The dam and various bridges over the Elbarme made it possible to travel even during floods. Today only riding and cycling trails.

After the construction of today's Berliner Chaussee further north in 1818, the Klusdamm lost its importance and was finally abandoned in 1823 and its use was prohibited. Of the many bridges on the Klus dam, the Klus bridge is the only one preserved. The course of the dam can still be seen today in the area between the Elbe Umflutkanal east of Pechau and the Klusbrücke.
The year of construction of the bridge is unknown. However, it is already shown in its current form on a drawing from 1588. The bridge was renovated between 1975 and 1982. A further renovation was carried out in 2017. Here, plaster was applied according to the historical model.
