The bridge serves as one of the entrances to the French Garden. Celle's city fortifications were a system of defensive structures that protected the city of Celle from attack since the Middle Ages. These included the city wall with city gates, as well as ramparts and moats. Celle Castle, also fortified, was located directly adjacent to the city. The city fortifications were expanded in the 16th and 17th centuries and, after the Seven Years' War, were demolished starting in 1766.** Visible remnants of the fortifications still exist today, including waterways (the city moat) and a fragment of the city wall.

The French Garden is accessible, among other ways, via this bridge. Since the Middle Ages, the town fortifications of Celle protected the city from attacks. It consisted of a city wall with city gates, as well as ramparts and moats. Directly next to the city was also the also fortified Celle Castle. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the facilities were expanded. After the Seven Years' War, their gradual dismantling began in 1766. Today, the city moat and a fragment of the city wall are reminders of the former fortification.
