List of the Oker bridges in Braunschweig
The list of Oker bridges in the city of Braunschweig contains a list of all bridges over the Oker , which has enclosed the Braunschweig city center for several centuries.
history
In the early Middle Ages , the Oker , which rises in the Harz Mountains, flowed through today's urban area in a 200 to 500 m wide floodplain . The river, which was navigable beyond Braunschweig at that time, was of great economic importance for the development of the city during the Middle Ages . There were three harbors in the urban area. B. Wood and metals from the Harz were handled, on the other hand goods coming from the north for the south.
For the purpose of the defense of Braunschweig , the Oker was diverted around the city by means of defensive and wall trenches as early as the middle of the 12th century. Around 1400 there were two "flood ditches" with ramparts , which were continuously expanded to form strong city fortifications until around 1750 . In the south of the city was the " Eisenbütteler Wehr ", which initially dammed the river in order to then divert it in two large flood ditches to the east and west around the city. In the northwest, both arms of the Oker then flowed together again towards Aller . A number of smaller tributaries continued to flow through the five soft patches of Braunschweig: Altewiek , Altstadt , Hagen , Neustadt and Sack . Over the centuries, the inner-city tributaries were gradually either filled in or laid underground, while the two flood ditches still flow around the city center.
Due to the advancement of warfare and weapons technology , the defenses gradually became ineffective, so that they were abandoned around 1769. In the first decade of the 19th century at the instigation of Duke Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand and designed by architect Peter Joseph Krahe with the razing started the ramparts and the Wallring , now a ensemble of parks , promenades , squares and residential areas created. In 1835 these large-scale remodeling measures were completed. Since the two flood ditches had been preserved, it became necessary to adapt the number of bridges over the Oker to the population and the growing volume of traffic. Today, 24 bridges, from the main thoroughfare to the pedestrian bridge, cross the Oker.
