The new bridge was opened in November 1875. Already in February 1876 (19.2.1876 to 22.2.1876), the heavy flood and ice floes in the river Elbe bridge sagged.<br>As a stopgap, a provisional wooden truss bridge for rail transport was built within 8 months. The rebuilding followed in the years 1876-1878 from three timber-framed arches. 2 Same bridges each for railway and road were directly versions built.<br>In the last days of the second world war, the bridge was blown up.<br>a new road bridge was built slightly off in 1956, while the railway bridge rebuilt was replaced in 1966 by a new bridge.
