Weilburg's former water supply, constructed as a chain bridge, is still firmly anchored in the minds of Weilburgers more than 60 years after its end of use. The people of Weilburg often still affectionately call the footbridge, now known as the Ernst–dienstbach-Steg, the Chain Bridge.

Nice footbridge over the Lahn. At the end facing away from Weilburg, you can walk right along the Lahn

Today's pedestrian bridge was originally built in 1784 as part of the baroque water supply, and at that time it was the first chain bridge on the European continent.
