Ship bridge (port facility)
In addition to the common use for pontoon bridges of older construction, port facilities were sometimes also referred to as ship bridges , as can be seen from the names of several quayside streets in Schleswig-Holstein city centers. All are sometimes mistaken as a ship 's bridge mentioned.
"Ship bridge" as the name of the old quays
In none of these streets is the name for a crossing structure, in all of them for old loading areas with bank reinforcement.
Linguistically, this indicates connections to Northern Europe: in Nynorsk in Norway , bryggje stands for quay or jetty , in Bokmål brygge , in Swedish brygga . The bridge as a crossing structure is called in Nynorsk bru , in the other two languages and in Danish bro .
Examples
In detail, these are the following streets:
- The ship bridge in Eckernförde is on the north side of the old town and at the time was primarily a fishing port. It has been a promenade since 2007.
- In the 17th to 19th centuries, brown cane sugar and raw rum from the Danish West Indies were landed at the ship bridge in Flensburg . Today the former customs packing house at the old loading area houses the Flensburg Maritime Museum and the Rum Museum in its cellar.
- The ship bridge in Husum is located on the innermost and therefore most protected part of the so-called "inland port", which is the old seaport here. The quay used to be used as a storage area.
- In Neustadt in Holstein , the entire Seehafenkai in the old town is called "Schiffbrücke".
Similar name:
- In Stralsund , a listed but relatively new quay in its current form is called the Steinerne Fischbrücke . In the Middle Ages, however, the Stralsund harbor had several wooden jetties that protruded into the broad Strelasund .
Other names for old quays
In several large Baltic ports , such as Lübeck , Rostock and Stettin / Szczecin , there are old or former loading quays called Lastadie , a word that originally meant ballast . Most of Rostock's medieval harbor bank is called the “beach”.
On the Weser there is the Schlachte in Bremen , and further up Schlagden in Minden , Bodenfelde , Hann. Münden , as well as its source rivers in Kassel on the Fulda and the Werra to the upper end of the old shipping in Wanfried . There are also Schlagden on the Ruhr , such as the Neukircher Schlagd and in Mülheim the Broicher Schlagd . The name is traced back to the driving in of the piles for bank reinforcement.
