About the artwork

This fascinating photograph gives us a picturesque view of the Herta Bridge, a true jewel of Art Nouveau and a connecting element across the Aa in Herford. The bridge stands just before the Radewiger Weir and impresses with its timeless elegance.

The wrought-iron Art Nouveau railing of the Herta bridge is in the centre of the picture. The filigree beauty of the railing magically attracts the eye and is reminiscent of a bygone era in which art and craftsmanship merged in perfect harmony. The curved forms and floral ornaments of the railing lend the bridge an enchanting grace.

The wooden floor of the bridge, slightly curved and of a warm, inviting colour, completes the overall picture. It seems to bear the marks of time and tells of the many people who have crossed the bridge in the past. The contrast between the filigree metal railing and the solid wooden floor gives the image a fascinating visual dynamic.

The photograph exudes an atmosphere of history and culture. It tells the story of a city that has preserved its architectural treasures. The Herta Bridge is more than just a link across the River Aa; it is a work of art that captures the essence of Art Nouveau and transports the viewer to a bygone era. This photograph invites the viewer to discover the beauty in the detail and admire the artistic masterpiece that is the Herta Bridge.
