Okay, looks like the Blombachtalbrücke is safe for now.
The picture in the linked article is from 2023 when they had to remove icicles.
It’s a structure from the late 1950ies and used to be the largest of its kind (by span length) in Germany for 20 years.
It also was a favourite spot for suicides until they upped the railings considerably.

Local bus driver made the top five in the nationwide ‘favourite bus driver 2024’… well I don’t think ‘competition’ is really the right word here. It’s to recognise what they did. People write in to nominate someone, with a little information to explain why and a jury sorts and rates the entries. This year there were 2,300+ entries. Görel expertly defused a situation where one passenger bodily attacked several other people in the bus.
