Unter mir, über mir rennen die Wellen, die Wagen, und gütig
Gönnte der Meister mir selbst, auch mit hinüber zu gehn.

Friedrich Schiller, 1797

Müngsten Bridge over the river Wupper between Solingen and Wuppertal (Germany)

Somewhere among the 934 456 rivets holding the iron bars of the bridge, there is a rivet made of pure gold, covered with several layers of paint . It is not known if it remains on the bridge or has been discovered in some of the maintenance jobs.
