Mittlere Bridge in its current form was built in 1905, but its predecesor was one of the most important crossings of the Rhine. The first bridge was build in 1226 and the city was extended on the other side of the river just for securing the bridge. On the left of the image the St-Martin Church (14th century parish curch) overlooks the beautifull waterfront houses.
