ROMAN BRIDGE MEMORIAL

In the past, a Roman bridge connected Stadtbredimus to Palzem, the German village on the other side of the Moselle. It no longer exists and some of the columns found in 1962 are in the Landesmuseum in Trier (Germany). It is thought that the Romans took advantage of the remains of a Celtic footbridge to build this bridge of at least 5 columns around 56 AD. The upper wooden construction could have carried a 6 to 6.50 m wide roadway.
