In the meantime, a stele and benches have been set up as a memorial site in front of the fenced-off remains of the destroyed bridge. The whereabouts of the destroyed bridge remains at this location is not without controversy among the residents, which is certainly understandable and is explained at the following link (along with the history/pictures of the bridge before it was destroyed): aw-wiki.de/index.php/Maria-Hilf-Br%C3%BCcke_Bad_Neuenahr

There was a pretty footbridge nearby that was swept away and completely destroyed in the 2021 flood disaster. the remains form an involuntary memorial. Photos laminated to the barrier bear witness to the times before the catastrophe.

This point shows the power with which the destructive Ahr flood raced through the town! Hopefully this bridge will remain as a memory and memorial!
