The bridge was built after the great fire of 1842 in 1844 and 1845 according to plans by Johann Hermann Maack . The underground beer village Posemuckel was located on the Bleichenbrücke from 1982 to 1992 . The Posemuckel consisted of 13 beer bars, in which disco music , mostly Italo Disco , was played.
