Original Caption

"The new crossing (from 30.12.89) over the Saale river between Hirschberg (Thuringia) and Untertiefengrün (Bavaria). In the picture you can see the wooden gangplank that was erected solely for this purpose. The Hirschberg leather factory in the background has since been torn down. The original bridge over the Saale river was blown up after the end of WWII. Now a new bridge connects the states of Thuringia and Bavaria."
