Němčický most Road bridge
The road bridge near Maláčka is a three-arch iron concrete bridge from 1932- 1934, which connects the municipalities Dříteč and Nemčice in the district of Pardubice. This monument represents a significant example of functionalism and was built in parallel with the regulation of the Elbe River. It is protected as a real-estate cultural monument under the number SAR 42063 / 6-5168.
The bridge was built on a dry ground in a green meadow, with a new river bed with a radius of 500 meters being built below it. This change was intended to increase flow and prepare the possibility of future shipping. The building permit was issued by the Ministry of Public Works on 4 March 1931, and the implementation was carried out by Ing. Josef and František Novák.
The bridge is an example of the 30's functionalist style with emphasis on technical efficiency, simplicity and geometric shapes. The three-arc construction made of reinforced concrete has supporting pillars drawn from stone blocks. The surface of the bridge is asphalt, but the paving cube was originally used. The railing is concrete at the ends and metal with mesh elsewhere.
Construction work began in December 1932, 270 000 m ³ earths were dug up within three years. The bridge was completed on September 15, 1934.
The architectural element is the semi-circular views above the pillars, with an entrance staircase and watermark on the left side towards the Germans. The bridge reflected the European trend in regulation of watercourses and infrastructure development in a period of economic crisis.
Today it serves as part of the III Street class No. 2985, accessible to pawns and cyclists. It is a valuable technical witness to interwar times and shows functional architecture in the landscape. We recommend visiting it during walks or cycling in the vicinity of Játče and Nemčice.

Architectural development
The construction started with excavation work carried out by hand, during which 270 000 m ³ soil was dug. The construction of the bridge is three-arc, with stone block pillars and iron concrete main carrier part. The surface of the bridge and pavements was originally paved with cubes, later rebuilt to asphalt. Architectural corresponds to the functionalist style of the 1930s, placing emphasis on simplicity and technical functionality.

Welcome! You are standing in front of an important monument to our history - the German bridge at Dříteč. Look up and you'll see three arches that have their original shine of iron concrete. The bridge emerges from this place as a connection between the past and the present, when its stone pillars hold the water flow under it firmly.
Let's go into history. In 1931, a building permit was granted by the Ministry of Public Works, which meant the beginning of a new era for the region. Starting in December 1932 and completion in September 1934, this bridge was built as part of the regulation of the Elbe River. What is interesting is that the bridge was not built above the water - first the structure was built on dry land and then the river was moved under it. This engineering trick allowed the bridge to be built with a radius of 500 metres, which is a real reference to the technical capabilities at the time.
Notice the architecture. The bridge has stone pillars and concrete railings with metal frame fillings, which adds unique aesthetics to its structure. This bridge is not just a functional element of infrastructure; It is also a cultural monument protected under the number SAR 42063 / 6-5168, which reflects its importance for the region.
Although specific historical figures associated with its construction remained anonymous, architects Khaml and Ing. Josef Novák together with František Novák are recognised as their role in this impressive work of engineering.
The interesting thing is that this bridge reflected European trends at the time in the construction of roads and bridges. Its construction was modern even for its time, representing progress in technology and urban planning.
