    The covered wooden bridge in the middle of the Tiergarten is a special sight. “Such structures are usually more likely to be found in southern Germany,” says Lüneburg's bridge engineer Jörg-Dieter Silex. Nevertheless, says Silex, the new structure on the Hasenburger Bach fits in perfectly with its surroundings. After the topping-out ceremony was held here at the end of July, the bridge is now finally finished. "In the last few weeks we have installed the railing and the roof and laid the wooden planking," says Silex.
    The special thing about the building is its creation. Around fifty craftsmen from Europe, Japan and the United States had built the bridge in the summer using traditional tools and craft techniques, without any machines, electricity or modern technology. The basis was a cooperation between the Hanseatic city and the Kesurokai e.V. association to preserve traditional handicraft techniques. The Hanseatic City of Lüneburg financed the material for the bridge as well as board and lodging for the craftsmen.
    The new roofed wooden bridge, which from now on ensures that pedestrians and cyclists can cross the Hasenburger Bach without getting their feet wet, is 2.30 meters wide, has a span of eight meters and is 3.11 meters high, so that cyclists can easily get under you can drive through.

      Traditional working techniques in international exchange
      From more than 20 craftsmen, from u.a. In Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Sweden, Estonia, Japan and the USA, this bridge was built using traditional work techniques in 2018. The idea was the exchange on traditional work techniques, the preservation of knowledge and the common work and getting to know each other. The trees used - Douglas fir and oak - come from the city forest.
