True carpentry! The approximately 40 meter long wooden bridge is the landmark of Forbach and its design is unique in Germany and even in Europe.

The first bridge here over the Murg was built in 1571.
However, it was only roofed over in 1776. With a span of 37.5 m, it was unique at the time. A bridge fee was charged for use.

Historical "Alte Forbacher Holzbrücke" over the Murg.
The bridge spans almost 38 meters over the Murg and manages without a central pillar. With a dead weight of 129 tons, the massive wooden bridge carries a payload of 64 tons. The wooden bridge, originally planned by the Karlsruhe engineer Otto Lindemann in 1778, is the longest self-supporting, covered wooden bridge in Europe that can be driven on due to its stability.
