Friederiken Bridge (Leine)
The Friederikenbrücke in Hanover crosses the Leine in the course of the Friedrichswall . It was named after Friederike von Mecklenburg-Strelitz .
history
The current bridge was preceded by the wooden "Fischerhausbrücke" originally designed for pedestrians. It led from the heavenly bastion, which no longer existed, over the click mill arm of the Leine to the Leineinsel (which was lost after the air raids on Hanover in World War II and the filling in of a second arm of the leash to build the Leibnizufers ). In 1767 the bridge was renewed as a driving bridge in connection with the construction of the Esplande (today: Waterlooplatz ). In 1841, with the construction of Friederikenplatz, the bridge, which has probably now been renewed, was widened and has since been called Friederikenbrücke. In 1896 a last new building was built in connection with the construction of the river water art .
After 1945 the Friederiken Bridge was overhauled and widened in 1961. The building of the river water art was demolished in 1963/64 despite violent protests from citizens.
