At 69 meters long and 12 meters wide, it is one of Zwickau's landmarks. From June 15 to July 1, 1945, the Paradise Bridge served as a kind of border crossing.

In 2002, the Paradise Bridge was extensively renovated.

Since he could not defend himself against the armed monks, Luther fled over the Muldenbrücke in the first open house. Inside he is said to have exclaimed: "Thank God he let me find this house. For truly, it became my paradise. "The inn was henceforth called" Paradise, "also because of its beautiful location.
