The Brückenwirt owes its name to the historic Punbrugge.
“brugge” = Brücke = bridge
“wirt” = guesthouse
In 1548, the Punbrugge was mentioned for the first time in a documentary, while in 1781 Swabian carpenters built the present building on the run from French troops.
The bridge was erected as a suspended structure on bricked intermediate piers. The statue of St. John Nepomuk dates back to 1800.
