Fast and muddy Saar
This is the Alte Brücke, the Old Bridge, built after Emperor Charles V turned up in Saarbrücken in 1546 and could not cross the river because of high water.
I learn a lot about Saarbrücken as I produce this blog. When I checked the date for Charles V on the German Wikipedia page, I noticed that the bridge used to have a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm. When the bridge was rebuilt after WWII, he was deemed surplus to requirements.
