The old stone bridge of the city spans the Wörnitz river in nine arches and was built in 1729. It was built on the site of an older passage used since roman times. The first real bridge over the Wörnitz was built in the 15th century and the taxes collected to cross it were responsible for about 20% of the city's income until the arrival of the steam trains in the 19th century. It was also partially destroyed at the end of World War II, but reconstructed soon after.
