"... railway bridge in Herchen. Collapsed by the Sieg flood on February 5, 1909;
The 1909 Sieg flood in February was the highest of the many floods in Sieg, and at the same time there were also flood alarms in many other areas of Germany. The trigger was considered to be extensive rainfall, coupled with rapid snow melt and an unfavorable weather constellation.
According to a report in the Eitorfer Zeitung, all bridges in the municipality of Herchen, with the exception of the one at Haus Dernburg, were torn away by the flood. This affected the bridges in Röcklingen, Herchen, the railway bridge shown as well as the bridges in Stromberg and Troisdorf. ..."
