Panorama van de Koningshaven te Rotterdam
Summary
Documentary about the Koningshaven harbour in Rotterdam.
Shots of the port of Rotterdam, with images of the busy maritime traffic along the Maas river and the vertical-lift bridge above the Koningshaven, “the modern miracle of technology”. The film shows just how ingenious and impressive this 1927 railway bridge (also known “De Hef”) actually is. We then see more shots of the Koningshaven and a Pullman train.
The lift bridge would later become famous around the world as a result of Joris Ivens' 1928 portrait De Brug.
