Summary[edit]

Description

Deutsch: "Gruss aus dem Bergischen Land - Kaiser Wilhelm-Brücke vom Diederichstempel gesehen". Diese schöne Karte aus meiner Sammlung zeigt Deutschlands höchste Eisenbahnbrücke. Sie überspannt das Tal der Wupper zwischen Solingen und Remscheid. Der Diederichstempel ist heute noch vorhanden; er thront auf einer Klippe hoch über dem Fluss. Die Karte stammt aus dem Verlag Fülle, Barmen, und wurde unter der Nummer 15332 veröffentlicht. Am 24. April 1905 wurde sie von (Wuppertal-)Elberfeld nach Neumünster verschickt. Auf der Rückseite sind folgende technische Angabe zur Müngstener Brücke (damals noch Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke genannt) abgedruckt: "Dimensionen Deutschlands höchster Brücke: H. 107m L. 491m Spannw. d. gr. Bogens 170m Gew. d. Eisens 5.050.000 kg Mauerwerk 10.000 cbm Baukosten 2.700.000 Mk 1893/97 Einweih. 15. Juli 1897" Der Blick auf diesem Bild geht flussabwärts, also Richtung Süden. Solingen ist somit rechts, Remscheid links des Flusses gelegen.

English: Here we see a gazebo which is situated on a cliff above the river Wupper. It bears the name "Diederichstempel" and is an attractive vantage point. You have a good view at Germany's most elevated railroad bridge (357ft.) from there. The little temple still exists.

We are looking at the north side of the bridge. Back then it was known as "Kaiser Wilhelm bridge". It connects the cities of Solingen and Remscheid. The postcard has been published before 1905. On its back the postcard gives some technical information on the huge iron structure. See my German description above).
