It was built between 1958 and 1959 as one of the first prestressed concrete bridges in Germany and named after the nearby Café Dornröschen. It is also known for the annual vegetable battle, in which residents of neighboring districts playfully throw old vegetables at each other – a humorous expression of local solidarity and rivalry.
