Iron Bridge by Antonius Plaian



Iron Bridge / Eiffel Bridge / Hunyadi Bridge - Wikimapia

One of the most beautiful bridges in the city, the bridge still withholds a romantic taste. Legend says that the plans for this metal bridge, whose construction elements are kept untouched, were sketched using an original design made by the famous Gustave Eiffel, the famous architect who designed the well-known Eiffel Tower in Paris. According to Árpad Jancso, "the bridge was more of a recycling scheme by incorporating metallic parts of what used to be the Hunyadi Bridge". The bridge was completed in 1917, however, its over scaled size condemned it to be used only by pedestrians, as building access ramps for cars involved demolishing several houses nearby. This fact determined Franz Engelmann (one of Banat's famous historians) to name it "die Irrtumsbrucke" - "The Bridge of Mistakes".

Qualified historians claim that there aren't any suggestive or clear evidences in order to certify without doubt that, "The Eiffel Bridge" was indeed built by any of Eiffel's plans or drawings. Despite this uncertainty, the legend is still being passed on from generation to generation, thus keeping alive the mistery surrounding the most charming bridge in Timișoara.
