One of the few places where you can change sides of the water.

A beautiful old bridge over the Weser. Always worth a photo.

The Old Harbor in Rinteln is a historic site that reflects the town's close connection to the Weser River and its maritime past. Originally, it served as a transshipment point for goods transported along the Weser and was a central component of Rinteln's economic life. Fishing was particularly important in the 14th century; the Rinteln Fishermen's Guild was so influential that it received its own charter. At that time, the Weser River was rich in fish stocks, with pike, perch, carp, and barbel in particular being sought after. Pike and salmon had to be offered to the town's authorities before they could be sold elsewhere. Herring, transported upstream from Bremen, also played an important role in the town's diet. Today, the Old Harbor presents itself as an idyllic spot along the Weser promenade, inviting visitors to linger. A newly constructed bridge over the Old Harbor connects the Government Island with the promenade, creating an attractive circular route for walkers and cyclists. The surrounding area offers picturesque views of the Weser River and Rinteln's historic old town.  Recently, plans to enhance the Old Harbor were presented as part of the "#wesererleben" project. The goal is to make the area even more attractive by creating leisure and recreational areas, such as a waterfront stage, flowering tree-lined avenues, and restaurants. The city of Rinteln has received funding totaling €469,000 for its implementation.  For cyclists, the Old Harbor is a worthwhile stop along the Weser Cycle Route. The combination of historical significance, scenic beauty, and planned modern infrastructure makes this location a special highlight in Rinteln.

I wouldn't drive over it anymore

In the past, there were repeatedly critical situations at the historic arched bridge at Langenbrücker Tor with its attached dam due to the narrow outflow of the Bega. In order to achieve effective flood protection here, the bridge had to be replaced by a new structure with a larger profile. The special location at the southern entrance to Lemgo was a particular challenge, but at the same time also an opportunity to experience the element of water in a new way. The seating steps on the south side of the Bega towards the bank area - the "Bega terraces" - have been very well received! By removing the weir system, it was possible to create ecological continuity here too. To absorb the steep gradient, two bed slides were integrated into the river course.
