It was nominated for designation as a "Historic Symbol of Engineering in Germany". A predecessor of the lift bridge was built in 1875 initially as a manually operated swing bridge. It was normally kept open to

The lift bridge was built in 1932 and 1933 as a result of the rise in railway operations and higher traffic loads. In the same period the Niederfinow Boat Lift was built to similar design principles and is still in operation today. The commonality of the two projects was so close that the cables of the Karnin Lift Bridge were pre-stressed on the construction site of the Niederfinow Boat Lift and then

The bridge had a total length of 360 metres; the length of the lifting frame is 51.7 metres and its height 35 metres. The centre pier of the old swing bridge was left in place as an additional abutment for the lifting section; that and a lightweight design of the actual lifting section resulted in considerable savings in the weight of the moving part of the bridge. Until its destruction on 29 April 1945, the bridge was the most important transport link from Usedom to the mainland. The bridge crossed the "Strom", as

This link was of great importance for the touristic development of the island, as well as the military installations on Usedom (the ammunition dump near Usedom town and the Peenemünde Army Research Centre from 1936). At the end of the Second World War the bridge was blown up by the Wehrmacht, in order to hinder the advance of the Red Army. They destroyed the flood bridges over the island and mainland, leaving the actual lift bridge undamaged. The

After the Second World War the railway link and bridge were not rebuilt because a section of the line now ran over Polish territory on Usedom near Swinemünde (Polish: Świnoujście). The blown-up flood bridges that had collapsed into the Peenestrom were recovered after 1945 and partly used in the rebuilding of the destroyed Oder bridges on the Prussian Ostbahn in Küstrin. The route of the old railway line from

Work on plans drawn up in the 1960s to rebuild the railway line and bridge was repeatedly shelved. Meanwhile, its transportation function was taken over by the Peene Bridge at Wolgast, which was designed as a combined railway and road bridge. In 1990/91 bridge engineer Hans Nadler saved the lift bridge section from the serious threat of demolition. To carry out his aims of preserving and rebuilding the bridge as a monument, he and other like-minded people founded the Usedom Railway Society

Beginning in 1997, the society restored the station building at Karnin station and from 1999 to 2005 ran a small exhibition on the line's history. The good condition of the lift bridge today is due to the fact that a rust-resistant steel was used, which corrodes very little even when not regularly painted. In Germany's 2003 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan, the rebuilding of the line from Seebad Heringsdorf via Świnoujście to Ducherow was listed under the international projects section. Such a link would cut the travel time between Berlin and the island of Usedom from
