Until 1922, the old "Long Bridge" over the Neisse River to the village of Berge, and after its incorporation in 1897 into the new district of Forst-Berge, was a wooden structure.
The old bridge had long since become inadequate for the ever-increasing traffic, and so in 1921 the town of Forst decided to build a new 170-meter-long bridge made of tamped concrete. A total of 394 railway wagons were required for equipment, scaffolding, and construction materials, weighing a total of 5,731 tons.
