Rhine Bridge "Border crossing between the two Rheinfelden" The old Rhine Bridge is a Rhine and border crossing between the two Rheinfelden. Crossing is only permitted for pedestrians, bicycles, mopeds, taxis and the local bus. From the ferry to the bridge. There was already a ferry in the area of today's bridge during Roman rule. The Zähringers, who expanded the market town of Rheinfelden into a town, also had a ferry connection across the Rhine. It ensured the connection to the road to the Zähringen possessions in Breisgau. The first bridge was probably built in the second half of the 12th century, because in 1198 a citizen of Rheinfelden was referred to in a document as Heinricus de Ponte (Heinrich von der Brücke). It was therefore the oldest bridge between Constance and Strasbourg, even before the middle bridge in Basel, which was built in 1225. Pedestrian bridge. Except for taxis and the local bus, cars are no longer allowed to use the bridge. The crossing over the Rhine and the entire old town is reserved for bicycles at walking pace and pedestrians. The Rhine bridge offers a wonderful view of the old town facades and the Park Hotel on the Rhine.

Rhine Bridge, Rheinfelden since 1150 Around 1150, Konrad von Zähringen had the first Rhine bridge built in Rheinfelden. This gave the newly minted town of Rheinfelden (which received town charter in 1130) a major economic boom. The bridge in Rheinfelden was the only bridge over the Rhine in the area at the time, and was even older than the bridges in Basel. Thanks to the island, building a bridge here was easier than elsewhere in the Rhine, as the island could be used as a bridge pillar. This is why the bridge still has a bend today. One night in 1897, the old wooden bridge burned down. "It is said that many a Rheinfelden resident shed a tear when this old landmark of the town, to which such a rich piece of history is linked, was consumed by flames." Construction of the bridge that still stands today began soon after. Fortunately, it is now fireproof, but still not completely out of danger. In 1995 it was almost washed away by floods, and in May 1999 the bridge also withstood the flood of the century. Text / Source: http://rheinfelden.net/rhf-p.htm http://rheinfelden.net/rhf-p.htm

Haus Salmegg, Association for Art and History Rheinfelden e.V. The history working group focuses on the history of the core city of Rheinfelden, i.e. largely on the period from the construction of the power plant in 1894 to the present day. Depending on the topic, aspects of the towns belonging to Rheinfelden, the region on the Upper Rhine, the neighboring northern Switzerland or even earlier times up to the Romans are also taken into account. The focus of the work is on the economic and social history of the young industrial city. The results of the history working group have so far been reflected in 18 issues of the Rheinfelder Geschichtsblätter on around 2,500 pages, with the last volume 18 vividly showing the period of French occupation after 1945. The latest project is a two-volume anniversary edition for the 100th anniversary of the city of Rheinfelden in 2022.

Haus Salmegg Rheinfelden (Baden) One of the oldest buildings in Rheinfelden, Haus Salmegg, is located directly on the Rhine. Once home to the city museum, the first floor now hosts changing special exhibitions from the cultural office. Haus Salmegg was built in 1824/25 by the entrepreneur Franz Joseph Dietschy as a summer residence for his wife Anna-Maria. In 1942 it became the property of the city, and in 1988 the municipal housing association acquired it. Haus Salmegg has been used as a gallery since 1989. It also housed the city museum until 2017.
