Karl-Lehr Bridge

As a Cologne resident, this bridge is something very special. After the Second World War, Cologne exchanged part of the third arch of the destroyed Hohenzollern Bridge to Duisburg, which was in the water, for coal.
But if you want to visit this bridge when, you should hurry, because unfortunately a new construction is already in full swing.

The Karl-Lehr-Bridge is a part of the Hohenzollern bridge from Cologne which was destroyed after the 2nd WK in the Rhine, a part of the bridge was then dismantled and rebuilt in Duisburg. However, the bridge is now so marode that will start in 2019 with a new building.

Actually the bridge is called "Karl-Lehr-Brücke"!The Karl-Lehr-Brücke is a road bridge over the Ruhr at river kilometer 1.934. It is the last bridge over the river before it flows into the Rhine and connects the districts of Kaßlerfeld and Ruhrort in Duisburg. The bridge is named after Duisburg's Lord Mayor Karl Lehr, who did a great job of expanding the Duisburg-Ruhrorter ports into a world-famous inland port and connecting the formerly independent cities of Ruhrort and Meiderich to Duisburg. State road 140 and tram line 901 of the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft run over the Karl-Lehr-Brücke.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Lehr-Br%C3%BCcke
