    If you drive or walk up the ramp on the left coming from Schenkenschanz, you can approach this historic building from the opposite side.

    The Griethausen railway bridge, also called Altrheinbrücke, near Griethausen (city of Kleve) is the oldest still existing railway bridge in the German section of the Rhine and is a listed monument.
    It was built from 1863–1865 by the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Rhenish Railway Company) with the construction of the left-bank Lower Rhine line from Cologne via Neuss, Krefeld and Kleve to the Dutch North Sea ports under the direction of Emil Hermann Hartwich and led across a dead Rhine arm in the direction of Elten and further to Zevenaar in the Netherlands. The Rhine current was crossed by a ferry. (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griethausener_Eisenbahnbr%C3%BCcke)
