Hammerbrücke, Freiberg

The historic Hammer Bridge, designated as a cultural monument and passable only on foot and by bicycle, spans the Freiberg Mulde River 2 km east of the city center of Freiberg. It was built in 1576 as a road bridge on the Chemnitz-Freiberg-Dresden road as a stone pointed arch bridge. The bridge has a clear height of 10 m, a width of 7,30 m and an arch span of 13,80 m. After several repairs and due to the narrow width of the road, a new road bridge was built 200 m further upstream in 1928 as a successor structure, over which today's federal highway 173 runs. In the mid-1990s, the bridge was once again restored under cultural-historical aspects.
