    Just as the new port on the Deutz side followed the Rheinauhafen ten years later (laid out between 1904 and 1907), a hydraulically operated swing bridge was also built here in order to be able to cross the port basin. The "star" among the bridge builders, the Duisburg steel construction company Harkort, carried them out completely in the then current Art Nouveau style - from the wheelhouse that towers over the middle of the bridge to the railings and the bridgeheads. The Deutz construction has a purely electric drive with which it - still today - is lifted from its rest position and then rotated.

        a highlight in the Deutz harbor: the annual Harley-Davidson meeting.
