see the Krahnenviertel (Old Cranes)On the banks of the Moselle, you can view two monuments of technology of the past: two loading cranes. The cranes have moveable roofs which move atop mighty round substructures. Inside each is an enormous treadmill which was driven by human muscle power to move the pulleys.
The northerly crane was built in 1413, and the one nearer to the Roman Bridge was built in 1774.
