EN: The village bridge is located in the center of Münster. It is twelve meters long and 4.8 meters wide. It crosses the Münstigerbach and was built in 1989. Probably there have been many bridges at this place, the area is very prone to flooding. I could not find out more details, but the year of construction fits to the last mudslide catastrophe, which strongly affected this part of the village in 1987.

DE: Die Dorfbrücke befindet sich im Zentrum von Münster. Sie ist zwölf Meter lang und 4.8 Meter breit. Sie überquert den Münstigerbach und wurde 1989 erbaut. Vermutlich standen an dieser Stelle schon viele Brücken, die Gegend ist sehr hochwassergefährdet. Ich konnte aber keine Details in Erfahrung bringen. Das Baujahr passt aber zur letzten Schlammlawinenkatastrophe, die 1987 diesen Dorfteil stark in Mitleidenschaft zog.
