Adding to this.
Mapillary has a load of different perspective on the canal as well. The same bridge/canal but on OpenStreetMap.
Did they really build a fucking street on top of the river? Why would you do this?
In 1973 they replaced the canal with a road, since... cars go vroom vroom and need space, but this was reverted between 2010-2020.
need space
Press X to Doubt
Fuck cars.
More like crave and devour space like a cancerous growth
Pretty much, yes - the Stadsbuitengracht was a defensive moat originally, then they converted part of it into a motorway in the 70s.
Not uncommon. Cities grew and the aqueducts just went director to their river, si they suck and paving them was a good excuse to get rid of the sanitation problems they had while expanding car infrastructure. Cities today know better and built aqueducts that didn't dump everything to the river.

It must be great living in a sane country.
Beautiful!
Was in Bayreuth a couple of weeks ago - they had pictures of the city centre 40-50 years ago hanging there. Couldn't find the exact image on the internet but here is a postcard from around that time. This is how it looks today (you can see the fountain and the house with the steep roof on both images)
