Capital Kreuznach Palatinate Rhineland Nahe
EDITORS COMMENTS
Bad Kreuznach, the charming capital city of the district by the same name in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is beautifully depicted in this early 1900s photograph. The city, located along the serene Nahe River, is renowned for its picturesque scenery and rich history. At the heart of this image lies the famous Bruckenhäuser (Bridge Houses), a unique architectural marvel built on the bridge that spans the Nahe River in central Bad Kreuznach. The Bridge Houses, also known as the Krausenbrücke, are an integral part of the city's history and have been a popular tourist attraction since the late 19th century. The Bruckenhäuser, which date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, were originally used as toll houses, collecting taxes from travelers passing through the bridge. The houses were connected by a covered walkway, allowing the toll collectors to remain dry during inclement weather. Over the years, the Bridge Houses have undergone various renovations and restorations, preserving their historical charm for generations to come. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, captures the Bridge Houses in all their glory, with the Nahe River gently flowing beneath them and the Walkplatz, a popular promenade, in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and history of Bad Kreuznach.
