This bridge is located between the Lopende Diep and the Spilslokken. The Spilslokken owes its name to the locks that were located here between the water of the Hunze on the east side of the city and the water of the A on the west side of the city. Both rivers had a different water level and therefore a lock was needed.
The word 'pivot' comes from 'spills', such as to waste, to spill. Water always seeped out of the locks, which is why they 'pivoted'. The Lopende Diep owes its name to the water that flowed from the locks a little further away. The water always flowed quickly here, so it always 'ran'.
On either side of the bridge you can clearly see the difference in height between the higher and lower parts of the quay: the ebb and flow quay. At low tide the ships could moor at the low quay and at high tide at the high quay.

The Boteringebrug forms a connection between the old and new Boteringestraat. The Oude Boteringestraat, together with the Hoge der Aa, is the best preserved historic streets in Groningen. The Oude Boteringestraat has 28 national monuments and 26 municipal monuments. Definitely worth a visit.
