The Blue Bridge over the Bille.
Leads with the Horner Rampe over the Bille. One of originally three (red, blue and green), today six Billebrücke (brown, yellow and black bridge), which are painted in different colors for orientation. It is debatable whether the choice of color was intended to make it easier for river boatmen or workers to find their way around.

The Blue Bridge in Billbrook is on Großmannstrasse and thus also in the middle of the industrial area and crosses the Bille. Many of the bridges that cross the Bille bear the names of the corresponding colors in order - so it is said - to make orientation easier for the many foreign-language workers of the industrial companies located there. Hence the names Brown Bridge, Green Bridge, Red Bridge, Yellow Bridge and Black Bridge.
