The Hospital Bridge is a stone arch bridge over the Große Röder in the Saxon town of Radeberg . The structure, erected from 1749, is a listed building and is the oldest surviving bridge in the city . The bridge is located not far from the Radeberger export beer brewery and is used by State Road 95 .
history
At least since the 16th century there was a wooden bridge over the Große Röder in the place of the current stone bridge . In 1576 the city of Radeberg built an initially single-storey hospital next to the bridge, on the left bank of the Große Röder below the "Galgenberg" (later location of the Radeberger export beer brewery) , which was built from oak, the wooden bridge and the 1631 when it also gave its name to the two stone subsequent structures. The name HospitalBrücke is proven as early as 1799 . The construction of the first stone hospital bridge (as a two-arch bridge) began in 1749. A heavy flood of the Röder on August 7, 1755 destroyed the new stone bridge, which was still under construction. The wooden interim bridge was completely washed away. The still unclosed stone arches including their armor, the abutments and the new bank walls were destroyed. The construction, which was interrupted due to the Seven Years' War and the lack of money, was continued after the end of the war, the new hospital bridge was inaugurated on October 11, 1764. The planned construction costs amounted to 1,752 Thaler, of which 75% were contributed by the Chursächsischen government. The actual costs including the follow-up costs amounted to about 2,010 thaler, of which the city had to bear a total of 700 thaler.
The bridge existed in this version until 1898. In 1899, "... the new large bridge on Dresdner Strasse" was built as a single-arch bridge "in cement concrete " by the construction company B. Liebold & Co. from Holzminden .
Building
The current arched bridge made of concrete and granite - Cyclops masonry leads with a single arch over the Röder. It is sideways with wrought iron provided railings, at the ends of the bridge pedestals from sandstone to be completed.
The state road 95 leading over the bridge is provided with sidewalks on both sides and has one lane for each direction of travel, as well as one lane for traffic coming from the east that turns into Rathenaustraße. To the west of the bridge the S 95 is called Dresdner Strasse, east of the bridge it joins August-Bebel-Strasse. On the eastern side, the main road leads into the city center as an extension of the bridge. The bridge forms the north-western end of the Gelbkehain , a park on the Großer Röder.
Others
On November 7, 1799, the hospitaller Johann Gottfried Rumpelt, popularly known as the lame Rumpelt , died at the hospital bridge. He drowned, probably intoxicated, as he had previously been seen in a tavern in the Großer Röder. His body was handed over to the Theatrum Anatomicum in Dresden .
Next to the hospital bridge was one of the first public buildings in Radeberg after the war. During his term in office (1948 to 1950), the mayor Friedrich Weitzmann had a toilet block with a newspaper kiosk built on the Röder. The residents of Radeberg named the building Weitzmann-Baude . The house had been unused and fell into disrepair since the 1980s, and in 2013 the city council decided to demolish it, which was carried out in 2015.
