The bridge is dedicated to Saint Wendelin, who is venerated in Catholic regions as the patron saint of shepherds, peasants, farmers, day laborers, and farm workers. Wendelin is also considered a helper in times of need against the plague. It is likely in this context that the Saint Wendelin wayside shrine near the bridge was built before 1496. The bridge was built over a ford that was an important traffic junction in the Middle Ages. Here, the Via Regia from Cologne to Frankfurt am Main and the road from Siegen to Mainz met. These roads then crossed the Lahn River on the old Lahn Bridge in Limburg. The road from Koblenz to Wetzlar also crossed the Elbbach River here.

The St. Wendelin Bridge is a small bridge over the Elbbach stream, dating back to the second half of the 12th century. It is located in Niederhadamar, part of the town of Hadamar in the Limburg-Weilburg district of Hesse. It is probably the oldest stone bridge in Hesse.

Beautiful narrow single-lane old bridge for the time when it was used by ox carts... the surface is a witness to this.

Certainly one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Germany.

This is the entrance to the Elbbach seen from Limburg. As a precaution, get off your bike for 5 m.
