Alter Kranen

In den Jahren 1767-1773 errichtete F?rstbischof Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim ein Hebewerk am Mainufer, das unter dem Namen "Alter Kranen" bekannt ist. Dieser Kran diente den Binnenschiffern bis 1846 zum entladen ihrer Schiffe. Der ausf?hrende Architekt war Franz Ignaz Neumann, der Sohn des ber?hmten Barockmeisters Balthasar Neumann. Franz Ignaz Neumann hat mit diesem Bauwerk eine noch heute in der Fachwelt bestaunte Anlage geschaffen.

Translated, the marker reads: In the years 1767-1773, Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim built on the banks of the Main River a lifting facility, which is known by the name "Old Cranes". This crane was used by barge operators to unload ships until 1846. The executive architect was Franz Ignaz Neumann, the son of the famous Baroque master Johann Balthasar Neumann. With this structure Franz Ignaz Neumann created an engineering marvel which is still admired today.
