Could a bridge lead to more than just the other side? At the Laerer Landweg-Brücke, it leads to a journey through time. This bridge, spanning the canal here in Münster, isn’t just a modern construction. It carries echoes of a past life, a pathway trod by those on their final journey. The Laerer Landweg-Brücke takes its name from the old “Laerer Leichenweg,” or “corpse path.” This path, remnants of which still exist today as the Laerer Landweg street, was the route taken by the people of the Laer district to St. Mauritz Church and cemetery for burial. Imagine the somber processions that once traversed this route, their destination a place of final rest. The current Laerer Landweg street is but a fragment of its former self. Old maps reveal a much longer route, encompassing parts of what are now Manfred-von-Richthofen-Straße and Mauritz-Lindenweg, leading all the way to the Prozessionsweg. The Laerer Landweg received its official name in 1936. Between 1964 and 1970, the section between “Zum Guten Hirten” and the canal became part of Mauritz-Lindenweg. Since 1970, the part starting at the bypass belongs to Manfred-von-Richthofen-Straße. This explains why the house numbering on today’s Laerer Landweg begins at number 73. The Laerer Landweg-Brücke we see today is a testament to change. The original bridge, inadequate for the widening of the canal, was replaced. The new bridge, a modern truss structure, was installed in May 2018, a feat of engineering involving “swimming” the structure into place. This new Laerer Landweg-Brücke, opened in March 2019, is a vital link across the canal. But as you cross, remember the echoes of the past. This bridge stands as a reminder of the continuous flow of time, connecting us to those who walked this way before, their journeys ending where ours continue.
