    The bridge west of the center of Schopfheim crosses the meadow. The around 40 meter long bridge was designed by Friedländer, an engineer from the Freiburg office Brenzinger & Cie. The execution took place in the years 1911 to 1912. It is 5.60 meters wide and about four meters high. A two-joint arch made of reinforced concrete serves as the main girder, which is raised in the middle as a parapet above the carriageway. With a span of 34.80 meters, the arch is 2.40 meters high, which is also unusual for modern conditions. To avoid bending, concrete joints were used on the fighters. These have a spiral reinforcement that was new for the time. The carriageway is supported by three-ply slab beams with cross ribs that rest between the main girders. On the right bank in the direction of the river, the bridge is widened on both sides for better traffic management. While the right bank is dominated by rocks and the bridge provides sufficient support, the foundation on the left bank had to be made 9.50 meters below the lane profile and thus three meters lower than planned. The sole was sawtooth-shaped for a secure foundation. Source: Wikipedia

      The bridge west of the center of Schopfheim crosses the meadow. The approximately 40-meter-long bridge was planned by engineer Friedländer from the Freiburg office Brenzinger & Cie. The execution took place in the years 1911 to 1912. It is 5.60 meters wide and about four meters high. The main girder is a double arch made of reinforced concrete, which is raised in the middle part as a parapet above the carriageway. The bow has a span of 34.80 meters and a height of 2.40 meters, which is unusual even for modern conditions. In order to avoid bending compulsion, joints made of concrete were used on the fighters. These have a spiral reinforcement, which was novel for the time. The roadway is supported by three-tier slabs with transverse ribs that rest between the main girders. On the right bank of the river, the bridge is widened on both sides for better traffic management. While the right-bank side is dominated by rocks and the bridge provides sufficient support, the foundations on the left bank had to be made 9.50 meters below the roadway profile, three meters lower than planned. For a secure foundation, the sole was sawtooth-shaped here. Source: Wikipedia

        In 2024, after 112 years of operation, a spruce board wall was finally doweled in place, because like me, you are often too distracted by the view of the river on the bridge and end up standing on it. Maybe it's just a temporary solution until a suitable railing has been welded.
