    The old Inde bridge of the Weisweiler briquette factory is closed today and tells a long story about the industrial culture.
    In 1908 the future trade union was founded to set up a briquette factory in Weisweiler. The aim was to process the lignite mined in the future pit.
    In 1909, the future trade union applied for the establishment of a siding across the Inde to Weisweiler station for the transport of briquettes and building materials. Maschinenbau AG Union Essen was commissioned to manufacture the iron truss bridge for crossing the Inde.

    The old Indebrücke (old railway bridge) of the Weisweiler briquette factory is closed today and tells a long story about the industrial culture.

    In 1908 the future trade union was founded to set up a briquette factory in Weisweiler. The aim was to process the lignite mined in the future pit.

    Briquettes were produced until the briquette factory was finally shut down in April 1973. The bridge also became the property of the Elektrowerk in the same year. The bridge was decommissioned in 1998 and closed to pedestrian traffic from 2007.

    The bridge looks ghostly. Due to flood damage, the path along the Inde is currently closed.
