New Heisinger Aue cycle and pedestrian bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Good things still exist. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path was often flooded here, and that is not the only thing that will probably improve now. This wonderful place will also be part of the literature tour for my new novel. More information: gerd-haehnel.de/musikroman

Bridge at the railroad museum in Bochum-Dahlhauser

Highlight • Bridge

The Dahlhausen Railway Bridge is a former railway bridge that crosses the Ruhr between Bochum-Dahlhausen and Essen-Burgaltendorf. It is located near the former freight yard of Dahlhausen train station with today's Dahlhausen Railway Museum. A single-track bridge was opened at this point in 1874 for the Essen-Überruhr-Hagen-Vorhalle railway line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft from Überruhr to Burgaltendorf to Altendorf (Ruhr) station and on to Dahlhausen. It was expanded to two tracks in 1927. The bridge was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1951 a track was restored. The bridge is no longer used by the railway today. The rails were removed in 1991.
The steel bridge for cyclists and pedestrians located next to it was built in 1988 on the foundations of the second track.
