Today's Glan Bridge is a prestressed concrete bridge from 1997. It already had two stone and certainly several wooden predecessors.

The Glan - the longest river in the Palatinate - has its source on the Höcherberg near Bexbach and crosses the border from Saarland to Rhineland-Palatinate after about 2 km. On its almost 90 km long path to the confluence with the Nahe, it also flows through the town of Lauterecken.

Here it picks up the Lauter, also known as the Waldlauter, coming from the right. The name of the settlement, which was founded as a village around 1000 AD, came from the Landecke or confluence, called “Lautereck”. In a document from 1343, the name "Lutereck" is given for the settlement and the deep castle of the Counts of Veldenz. The triangle in the former and present coat of arms of the city is also modeled on the estuary triangle.

Today's Nepomuk statue is a reproduction from 1997, the original is in the Veldenz Castle.
