Cochem, Germany: Skagerrak Bridge

The main bridge in Cochem not only is functional for vehicles, but it is a charming way to walk to the other side over the Moselle thanks to its elevation. This structure was built in the 1920s, and opened in 1927. The name of the bridge refers to a battle fought in 1945. 

One part of it stands out, and it is shown here. It's something of a visual history of the town. There's a reference to some damage that the bridge took in the final months of World War II, although details are not easily found.
