Brücken, which translates to "bridges" in English, are structures built to span physical obstacles such as rivers, valleys, or roads. They allow for the safe passage of vehicles, pedestrians, and sometimes trains. Various types of bridges exist, including beam, arch, and suspension bridges, each designed for specific purposes and conditions. In addition to their functional role, Brücken often serve as important landmarks and can enhance the beauty of their surroundings. Many famous bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco or the Tower Bridge in London, are celebrated for their architectural design and historical significance.
