location

history
Already 2000 years ago there was a bridge near a Roman fort at the place where the Daarler Bridge stands today. Although the fort was destroyed early on, the bridge still existed in 1281. In 1936 a blue steel bridge was built on the same spot where the Roman bridge used to be. It served as a pedestrian bridge even then and was opened in 1937. At that time it was still called the Schlageter Bridge, named after Albert Leo Schlageter . The bridge was blown up during World War II . In 1946, the Schlageter Bridge was rebuilt in the same place, but shortly afterwards it was renamed Daarler Bridge.
