The Camsdorf Bridge (German: Camsdorfer Brücke) is a bridge over the Saale river in Jena, Germany. It connects the Jena city center of Jena with the suburb of Weningenjena and is considered to be the oldest stone arch bridge in Jena. HistoryFirst stone bridge, 15th centuryA wooden bridge spanned the Saale until the construction of the first stone bridge in the 15th century. In 1416, the bridge included a hermitage in which a man could request alms for the bridge.[1] The stone arch bridge was built around 1480 and consisted of nine arches. It was an important crossing over the Saale, which at that time often flooded its banks, and served to connect Jena to the settlements east of the city. The stones used in its construction originated from the remnants of castles on the Hausberg mountain which were destroyed in 1304. This old Camsdorf bridge was included under the Latin name Pons as one of the Seven Wonders of Jena. It featured its own chapel, in which a stone or wooden cross stood until 1824 marking the border between the urban area and Camsdorf. In the guesthouse Grüne Tanne by the bridge, Goethe wrote Der Erlkönig. In 1575, two additional arches were added on the Camsdorf side of the bridge. The history of the original bridge also includes some tragic events:
Second construction, 1913With increasing development and industrialization during the 19th century, the need for a new bridge was recognized. The majority of the contemporary population however regarded the Camsdorf Bridge as a valuable historical monument which should be preserved.[4] To handle the growing traffic, the old bridge was demolished in July 1912 and its replacement was completed by November 1913. On the southwest pillar of the bridge, a small pavilion was erected containing a statue of the Archangel Michael, patron saint of Jena. In addition to regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic, the new bridge supported a tram line connecting Jena and Weningenjena. Third construction, 1946The rebuilt bridge was destroyed in 1945 by Wehrmacht sappers in an effort to obstruct the eastward progress of Allied armies. Its destruction was nevertheless tactically useless as the Americans had already crossed the Saale elsewhere at Kunitz. The damage was surveyed in the weeks immediately following the war, and the bridge was quickly rebuilt in 1946 with Soviet help. The rebuilt bridge was dubbed the "Bridge of German-Soviet Friendship" and was the first structure in Jena rebuilt after the war. For many years, the Camsdorf Bridge was the only crossing over the Saale in the vicinity of Jena which heavy vehicles could traverse. Present statusThe bridge was extensively renovated in 2005 as a result of serious wear. The tram line was also expanded, from a single to a double lane. Upon its reopening in 2005, a festival was held on the bridge for the first time. Literature
