Description
The bridge impresses with its curved shape, a span of 47 meters. It rests on land and does not need piers for supporting it. In addition, its curved shape adapts very well to the sweeping river Saale. At normal water level, the arch is almost 7 meters high to ensure the passage of ships.

History
Planned in 1927 and built in 1928, so that bathers could reach the bath on the island of Forstwerder. The lido does not exist anymore. Today the island is a nature reserve.
Colloquially, the bridge is called Katzbuckelbrücke, i.e. the cat's arched back bridge.
