The name comes from the time when Rheine was the first garrison town. The soldiers marched over this bridge from the clothing store on the left of the Ems to the barracks on the right of the Ems. After working hours they strived from the barracks on the right of the Ems to the bars and dance halls on the left of the Ems and back.

All other bridges over the EMS had been destroyed in the war, only this remained for soldiers over so the name has become sober in the course of the post-war years.
