The Stone Bridge of Regensburg, known as the Steinerne Brücke, is one of Germany’s most important medieval landmarks. Constructed between 1135 and 1146, the bridge extends over 300 meters with sixteen arches and served as the city’s only Danube crossing for more than 800 years. It became a vital link in medieval trade routes and is tied to enduring local legend, known as the “Devil’s Bridge” story. Today it remains the oldest surviving stone bridge in Germany  

Hedwig Reisinger was a German painter recognized for her impressionistic landscapes and still lifes, often featuring historic European architecture, alpine scenery, and floral subjects. Her paintings are noted for their impasto brushwork and expressive palette, reflecting a refined Post-Impressionist style.
