The famous Heidelberg Old Bridge. The old bridge was built in 1788 and the official name is Karl-Theodor Bridge, the name of the electorate who built the baroque stone bridge in 1788. This is the ninth bridge in this position since ancient Roman times and the oldest bridge on the Neckar River in Heidelberg. This bronze monkey statue is not small. It is said that the monkey's left hand mirror and the left foot ring symbolize vanity, the naked hip symbolizes lust and ugliness, and the right hand extends fingers to block people's evil sight. The copper monkey in this position also appeared in the 15th century. At that time, it was a symbol of ugly, shameless, desire and vanity. It was used to satirize the bridge fee and also expressed the meaning of equality among the people inside and outside the bridge. Legend has it that the person who has held the right hand finger of the monkey will return to Heidelberg in the future. Those who have touched the bronze mirror of the left hand of the monkey will have good luck, so at a glance, the bronze mirror has been touched by the pedestrians. Looking up at Heidelberg Castle on the top of the throne from the old bridge in Heidelberg, it is an extraordinary momentum. The two 28-meter-tall bridgeheads at the southern end of the old bridge are the oldest part of the old bridge. They were built in the 15th century and used as part of the bridge. The bridge gate was originally used to collect the bridge fee.
