The Caetsbaanbrug (Bridge 112) is a fixed bridge, spanning the Lauriergracht and connecting the Prinsengracht’s southwest quay. Its name comes from the historic “Kaatsbaanpad”, which existed here before the canal was dug. The bridge dates back to at least 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣5️⃣, as seen on old maps. 🗺️

In 1704, a three-arched version was built, similar to nearby bridges. The current structure, made of wrought iron and buckled plates, was constructed in 1️⃣8️⃣9️⃣3️⃣. 🌉

The white building on the left is the facade of the third oldest bar in town. It first opened in 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ and it’s still there. For over 15 years, a sign behind the windows read: “Not for sale or rent.”💰🤷🏻‍♂️

And yet, dozens, maybe even hundreds of people dropped a note in the mailbox, hoping to take over the legendary Amsterdam café Brandon. In vain…🧾😥

The old proprietors, the Brandon family, lived above the establishment, and as long as they were alive, it would remain closed. 🔒

The café is located at Keizersgracht (corner of Leliegracht), on the edge of the Jordaan. 🍺 🍷

Ein Post des @weddingweiser erinnerte mich heute an den schweizer #Künstler Max Bill.

Hab gerade mal die Fotos der Lavoitobel- #Brücke in Tamins rausgesucht. Wir waren damals auf einer Exkursion mit meinen dresdner Studis, um uns zahlreiche Brückenbauwerke in Graubünden anzuschauten.

Entworfen wurde diese wie ich finde wunderschönen Mischung aus Sprengwerk- und Bogenkbrücke von Mirko Roš und Max Bill. Ich finde das Bauwerk sehr schön. Die brutalistisch, puristische Form steht im spannenden Widerspruch zur statisch so inteligenten, fast fragilen Konstruktion, die mit ihrer extremen Schlankheit der Sprengwerke das Bauwerk so elegant in die Landschaft integriert. Die Brücke entstand in den 60er Jahren.
