The Neubrügg , also called Neubrück or Neubrücke , is the oldest surviving wooden bridge in the canton of Bern in Switzerland and leads across the Aare near Bremgarten , where it connects the municipality of Kirchlindach with the Bern Neufeld district.
In 1534/35, the Neubrügg replaced a bridge built in 1466 as a replacement ferry at the same location, which connected Kirchlindach with Bern as early as 1467. It is a covered wooden bridge on four stone pillars made of tuff , nagelfluh and sandstone . The wooden construction consists mainly of fir wood , oak wood was also used for important load-bearing elements . The road bridge was an important customs office until 1838.
In terms of traffic, the Neubrügg was replaced in 1913 by the newly built Halen Bridge , 800 m downstream . This brought a significant improvement in the traffic connection between the northern agglomeration and the city of Bern.
The Neubrügg is listed in the inventory of historical traffic routes in Switzerland as an object of national importance and is a cultural asset of national importance .
