Bad Segeberg celebrates: Finally in sight to bridge over the trave!

in Bad Segeberg, an important construction project takes shape: the old soldier bridge is replaced by a new steel wood bridge. This spectacular conversion was carried out by the Hamburg company Holst, which raised the impressive 22 meter long bridge safely and efficiently from the heavy transporter across the Trave River. Mayor Gerd Quast directed the work and described the impressive moment when the bridge was precisely raised to the prepared supports. "It's a nice job!" Said Quast. The new bridge consists of a stable steel substructure, an oak covering and railing made of larch wood. The construction work has been well advanced, and the bridge is expected to be released for traffic in the coming spring after the surrounding paths have been asphalted. This was also emphasized by the article of the Lübeck news, which describes the details of the construction site and the role of construction monitoring, including the use of a drone for documenting progress.

The old bridge, which was known as a soldier's bridge since the 1970s, was in a dangerous condition and was only recently broken down by Quast and his team. The connection was not only important for locals, but was also used by refugees as an abbreviation. The city of Bad Segeberg was able to secure a name change and the preservation of a modernized infrastructure for this project through public funding of around 450,000 euros, which is very positively absorbed by the population. With a cost of around 775,000 euros, the new building is viewed as an important step for traffic and accessibility in the region, what LN online clearly emphasized.

a historical context

The bridge not only gets a symbolic character for modern traffic, but also closes an old story: the soldier's bridge was built in the Lettow Vorbeck barracks at that time. Based on the historic names, this new bridge can be understood as a bridge between the past and the future. Similar to the artist group, the bridge, which in the first half of the 20th century changed the art scene sustainably, this building also shows the ambitious connection between tradition and modernity. This groundbreaking movement, such as Art in Context , played a central role in the formation of modern art and could serve as an inspiration for future construction projects that are looking for a similar connection between cultural heritage and innovative design.
