Brückenstranke
A feature of Traben-Trarbach is the Brückenstranke, a gatehouse at the bridge over the Moselle completed in 1899. This bridge is a newer copy for the historic bridge that was unfortunately destroyed in 1944 during the last World War. Traditionally, the city has always had an urban structure. This was mainly reflected in the variety of businesses located there and the dominance of merchants. During the 19th century, Traben in particular became increasingly important economically. The area, which mainly consisted of agricultural land and was mainly focused on wine growing, started to become interesting for the wine merchants from Trarbach. Especially after the city fire in Trarbach in 1857, many wine merchants moved to Traben. A wine wholesaler was established there, which ensured that Traben gained a considerable economic advantage over Trarbach. After difficult negotiations, it was finally decided to merge the two towns into one. This was officially ratified on 26 March 1904.
