    The listed, riveted steel section truss bridge in Annenheim, which served pedestrians as a crossing over the railroad, was first closed to walkers due to corrosion and was removed and stored in 2014 at the latest as a danger to train traffic. "The bridge (was) the direct connection between the Kanzelbahn Gerlitzen parking garage, the village of Annenheim and the lake promenade (as well as the train station). Without the bridge, pedestrians have to accept hundreds of meters of detour."
