Artist's description:
Die Kettenbrücke (ungarisch Széchenyi lánchíd, auf Deutsch: Széchenyi-Kettenbrücke), die in Budapest die Donau überspannt, wurde in der Zeit von 1839 bis 1849 auf Anregung des ungarischen Reformers Graf István Széchenyi erbaut, dessen Namen sie trägt. Sie ist die älteste und bekannteste der neun Budapester Brücken über die Donau. Die Kettenbrücke ist eine Hängebrücke und verbindet den István-Széchenyi-Platz (Széchenyi István tér), der den Abschluss der Pester Innenstadt bildet, mit dem Adam-Clark-Platz (Clark Ádám tér) vor dem Budaer Burgberg. Das klassizistische Bauwerk wird von zwei triumphbogenartigen Stützpfeilern getragen, durch die die eisernen Ketten des 375 Meter langen Brückenkörpers verlaufen, daher auch der Name Kettenbrücke. The Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the west and east side of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The first bridge across the Danube in Budapest, it was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark in 1839, after Count István Széchenyi's initiative in the same year, with construction supervised locally by Scottish engineer Adam Clark. It opened in 1849, thus became the first bridge in the Hungarian capital. At the time, its center span of 202 m was one of the largest in the world. The pairs of lions at each of the abutments were added in 1852. It is popular culture in Hungary to point out that the lions in fact have no tongues. (Wikipedia)
