history

The buildings along the Danube Quay were built in the 19th century under the direction of the master builder Johann Seidel, whose name is immortalized above the large window in the middle building, and used as a salt barn until 1829.

The middle of the three houses was included in 1869 as a head and passage building for the first chain bridge in Germany. It was intended to serve as a pedestrian bridge for the Passau people from the old town to the Ilz breakthrough . However, as early as 1897, when the bridge became the property of the city, the anchor shafts were severely damaged. Therefore, in the summer of 1900, construction work began on a new suspension bridge .
