Easily "surmountable" today - in times of the Iron Curtain only tanks could cross the bridge.

Before the bridge was built, the Thaya had to be crossed at a ford above the town. In the years 1873/1874 a road to Hardegg (today state road L 38 from Niederfladnitz to Hardegg) was rebuilt. The bridge was also erected as part of this work. The Viennese company Ignaz Gridl was commissioned to erect the iron structure.

The customs houses on both banks were not built until after the First World War and the final demarcation between the two states. Until the end of the Second World War, this bridge was used almost continuously and without any significant restrictions. From 1945 the border crossing at the Iron Curtain was closed. The Prague Spring did bring efforts to reopen, but this did not materialize.
