Author: Yuhym Shklovsky
Wuppertal - city of 300 bridges. The book "Bridges in Wuppertal" is dedicated to this special aspect of Wuppertal's history and present. Embedded in the general history of bridge building, the story of viaducts, stone, metal and pedestrian bridges is told. The pride of the city, the Wuppertal suspension railway and its bridges, is dedicated to a separate chapter. 120 black and white photographs and 185 color photographs illustrate the informative book.
The author of the book by no means regards bridges as engineering structures alone. They see bridges as a significant metaphor, but they help to overcome obstacles, to bring people closer to each other, to unite them. After reading this lovingly illustrated book you will see the city of Wuppertal with new enchanted eyes. You will discover bridges everywhere as you travel through city and countryside. And with joy, thanks to the book, you will know with a knowledgeable eye whether it is a viaduct, a stone or another bridge.
