The Havel [ˈhaːfl̩] is a river in northeastern Germany and, at 334 kilometers long, the longest right tributary of the Elbe. The direct distance between source and mouth is only 94 kilometers. The Havel rises near Ankershagen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, flows through Brandenburg, Berlin, and Saxony-Anhalt, and empties into the Elbe near Gnevsdorf on the border between Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. 285 kilometers of river run through Brandenburg. It initially flows through numerous small lakes in a southeasterly direction, then in a southerly, westerly, and finally northwesterly direction. The difference in altitude is only 40.6 meters.

The current steel bridge was built between 1903 and 1904. The bridge is 130 meters long and 10.7 meters wide. There are two supports in the riverbed, with a span of 42.7 meters between them. The bridge is a riveted steel truss bridge with semi-parabolic truss girders. The railings are built in the Art Nouveau style. The roadway is paved, and a tram track once stood along the northern edge of the roadway. At the end of World War II, the central section of the bridge was destroyed. After the war, the bridge was rebuilt. On September 28, 2002, tram service was discontinued, and road traffic on the B1 was diverted over the new bridge. The old bridge, now dilapidated, can be used by pedestrians and cyclists. The footpaths, which consisted of wooden planks, were closed and dismantled down to the iron girders.

The Havel River is generally wide, but here in Plaue it is naturally narrow. For this reason, a bridge existed here as early as the 13th century. The bridge was destroyed in 1244. From 1459 onward, there was a bridge again, but it was destroyed in various wars (including the Thirty Years' War). It was rebuilt several times, however. In 1829, the newly built bridge collapsed under the strain. The Berlin-Magdeburg postal line ran along here. The bridge was rebuilt from 1836 to 1837.
