Trostbrücke
TrostbrückeAbout
This small but historically important bridge which spans the Nikolai fleet was built in 1881. The stone bridge is decorated with models of Bishop Ansgar, who founded the cathedral that was in the old part of the city, and of Count Adolf III Von Schauenburg, who founded the merchant's district, Neustädter. The bridge Trostbrücke, whose name literally means "Comfort Bridge" is so called because those on their way to be tried at the town hall were comforted for one last time on the bridge.
