Close to my house there's an old railroad bridge named
De Hef. In the 1920s it received a lof of international coverage as it was a technical masterpiece at the time. Unfortunately it has not been in function since 1993, the trains now pass through a tunnel underneath the river. Nevertheless it has always remained a stunning landmark in Rotterdam.
Some weeks ago they removed the 'center-piece' of the bridge for maintenance. It's the part that moves up and down to either let a train or boat pass. I love it how the city treats it as a monument. Anyway, let me share some of my favourite photos featuring De Hef.

For who is interested to learn more --> the following documentary from 1928 (!) by
Joris Ivens features De Hef as well. It takes 13 minutes and is worth watching.
