The city walls of the old city and the suburbs once ran on both sides of the Winkelbach, each with its own defensive ring. On September 29, 1732, Michael's Day, the bridge was severely damaged by a storm and had to be rebuilt. At that time, the Ernspergers donated two figures, casts of which stand on the bridge today: the bridge saints Johannes von Nepomuk and Franziskus Xaverius.
