Rendsburg: Kiel Canal Transporter Bridge, Schwebefaehre Engineering Landmark, and the Holstein Crossing Town on the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal
Rendsburg has about 28,300 residents and lies on the Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) in Schleswig-Holstein. The Rendsburger Hochbruecke, a railway bridge spanning the canal, carries a Schwebefaehre (transporter bridge) underneath that ferries pedestrians and vehicles across. This engineering solution from 1913 is one of the last operational transporter bridges in the world. The Eider river also passes through the town.
Kiel is about 30 kilometres east. Eckernfoerde lies on the Baltic coast to the northeast. Neumunster is roughly 30 kilometres south. Schleswig is about 35 kilometres north. The Kiel Canal is the world's busiest artificial waterway by vessel count, and watching ships pass through is a local pastime.
