Schiffbrucke at Coblenz open to allow ship to pass, c.1918
Here we see the Schiffbrucke at Coblenz open to allow ship to pass. This was a pontoon bridge that was in place for more than a century, before finally being destroyed late in the Second World War.
This picture dates to late 1918 or 1919, when the city was occupied by the American army.
