Jochem writes: "The big warehouse was built 1878 and destroyed by fire in 1893, putting the bridge in picture in that time range." The suspension bridge was eventually dismantled and reassembled at Hessisch Oldendorf where it reopened in 1899.
This (likely) cantilever bridge replaced the chain suspension bridge close to the alignment of the current-day (2021) Münsterbrücke in Hameln.
