Clevertor Bridge
The Clevertorbrücke is a bridge in Hanover that runs over the Leine in the course of Brühlstrasse . The Brühlstraße and with it the Clevertorbrücke form the border between the districts of Mitte and Calenberger Neustadt .
history
From the former Clevertor Bastion , which was built in 1650, a first bridge led northwards over the Leine as a multi-bay wooden bridge with a hinged yoke.
In connection with the new construction of the Clevertore , a massive single-arch bridge with a span of 19 meters as a segment arch bridge made of sandstone was built in its place around 1781 according to a plan by the engineer captain Gotthard Christoph Müller (later professor at the University of Göttingen ) . At the lower end of the bank reinforcement that supports the bridge across the bridge and parallel to today's Franz-Mock-Weg, there is a sandstone closure with a high water mark from 1881.
The old bridge now supports the western carriageway of the bridge that was widened after the Second World War . The old superstructure of the bridge is no longer completely preserved.
