    According to an old document from the Bronnbach Monastery, a wooden Tauber Bridge stood here as early as the 14th century. It is said to have been destroyed in a flood in 1732. For 40 years only one ford connected the two banks of the Tauber. In 1772, the bridge that still exists today was built with a length of 39 meters and four arches. An inscription on the parapet upstream reveals the year of construction. zum.de/Faecher/G/BW/Landeskunde/themen/news/12/tauberbruecke.htm
    In 1775 a statue of the “bridge saint” Johannes Nepomuk was erected on the building. Today's statue dates from 1949.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reicholzheim#Tauberbr%C3%BCcke

      The 4-arch bridge made of red sandstone was built in 1773 under Abbot Ambrosius Balbus, who provided the financing. The Reichholzheimers had to perform forced labor and incarceration services. The bridge saint Nepomuk has stood in his niche since 1773.
