Russian bridge

The Russenbrücke is an arch-like road bridge in Groebenzell (Fürstenfeldbruck district).
It was built in 1916 as part of the straightening of the Gröbenbach by French prisoners of war from the Eschenried camp and thus represents Gröbenzell's oldest building. At that time, it was part of the route on the district road to Dachau and led to Graßlfinger and Gündinger Moos.
The bridge is made of concrete with iron reinforcement . The railings show rich decor in Art Nouveau forms . It was placed under monument protection on October 3, 1977.
Restored for the first time in 1983 for 16,000 DM, another extensive renovation of the building took place in 2014, shortly before the centenary. In the course of the construction work in 1983, the course of the road was relocated from the historic building to a new bridge. An information poster on the railing of the new bridge provides information about the eventful history of the Russenbrücke.
As part of the 100th anniversary on June 4, 2016, the community of Gröbenzell organized a "bridge festival". A free-standing information board on a stainless steel rod was unveiled. The pyramid-like pylons in front of both entrances were replaced by cylindrical pillars for the occasion. In addition, the ensemble was expanded to include a permanently installed seating group with a table and two benches made of solid plastic.
