The Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, is an iconic swing bridge that spans the Ems-Jade Canal. Constructed between 1905 and 1907, this impressive structure is one of the largest swing bridges in Europe, measuring 159 meters in length. Named after Emperor Wilhelm II, the bridge is a vital transportation link and a notable engineering marvel of its time. The bridge's unique design allows it to pivot horizontally, facilitating the passage of ships through the canal while also supporting vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
