Cologne - Rodenkirchener Brücke

Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior".

The Rodenkirchener Brücke ("Rodenkirchen Bridge") is a suspension bridge, built from 1938 to 1941. The bridge was destroyed due to an airstrike in January 1945. Rebuilt from 1952 to 1954 the bridge is named after the district Rodenkirchen. Because of the increasing traffic on the bridge (Autobahn 4) in 1990 it was expanded. The expansion was finished in 1995.
