@Walter Hinteler,

Bridge over the Spree river in Berlin, connecting the Paul-Löbe-Haus and the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus. (The architect called it "a jump over the Spree" - one side was formerly the East, the other West Berlin.)

Bridge in Norway. It swings when you walk on it - depending on the weather.

London is a city divided by the Thames, but united by its bridges, which allow people to navigate the city. An exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands displays rare archive photographs, including an image of Old Hungerford bridge from 1845. It's the oldest in the museum's collection, never before publicly displayed, and can be seen only for a month. Bridge runs from 27 June – 2 November

In this Guardian's report >Bridge: The architecture of the river Thames – in pictures< there are, as said in the headline, some pictures Wink

Vikings arrive to help you - but they are almost more scary than the bridge

@saab,

The largest (known) Viking bridge most probably is the bridge built over Ravning Enge (Ravning Meadows) in 980.

It might have looked like in this drawing
