Kaiser Wilhelm II was offended and stayed away from the opening on July 15, 1897. The new "Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge" was not named after him, but was dedicated to his grandfather, Wilhelm I, who had been born a hundred years earlier. Two years later, he did visit it, as the Müngsten Bridge was a masterpiece of its time. 107 meters above the Wupper River, the railway bridge connects the cities of Solingen and Remscheid.
