The red steel colossus near Langenargen.

The cable suspension bridge over the Argen river spans the Argen between Kressbronn, district of Gohren, and Langenargen. It was built under the Württemberg King Wilhelm II between 1896 and 1897. It was the first suspension bridge in Germany with wire cables. Today it is no longer used for vehicle traffic, only for bicycles and pedestrians. A great photo opportunity in all seasons.

The cable suspension bridge over the Argen river spans the Argen between Kressbronn, Gohren district, and Langenargen. It was built under King Wilhelm II of Württemberg between 1896 and 1897.

Before 1835, anyone who had to cross the Argen between Langenargen and Gohren, Tunau, Reute or Schnaidt – today districts of Kressbronn – had to accept a two-hour detour via the Gießen Bridge. The Argen, which was not yet regulated at that time, brought devastating floods again and again at the end of winter and after a storm, which made it impossible to safely cross the river: carts got stuck and people drowned in the floods. It was members of the parish of Langenargen who took the initiative in 1838 and founded a stock corporation to build and maintain a bridge. This building, a wooden structure, was opened to traffic on New Year's Eve 1839. In 1841 the bridge was taken over by the municipality of Langenargen and roofed over. Thirteen years later and for a fee of 7100 guilders, the Kingdom of Württemberg took over the bridge. Despite high-cost repair and conversion work in 1875/1876 and 1891/1892, the building authorities decided in the following years to build a new bridge at the same location.

was built in 1897 !

Very nice section of the route if you don't miss the turnoff and drive past it on the road.

Red bridge, always beautiful

Beautiful river view
