Deutzer Hängebrücke

The Deutzer Hängebrücke, possibly also known as the Hindenburgbrücke, was a self-anchored suspension bridge using eyebar chains, across the Rhine in Cologne, Germany. It was destroyed in 1945, and replaced in 1948 by the Deutzer Brücke. H. D. Robinson, who later worked with David B. Steinman on the Florianopolis Bridge, another eyebar chain bridge, consulted on the towers for the design of this Cologne bridge. It reportedly later served as inspiration for American bridge engineers and was specifically cited as a design influence on the Three Sisters bridges in Pennsylvania.
