Cyril , if a fight at Hanau , it turns out that this bridge across the Kinzig .

Many years ago , I asked one of the historian . There's something not fused . It has long been , I do not remember . I forgot about this picture , but now she caught the eye ( when looking Egorov ) . It seems he did not like that house is on fire , not a bridge .
Here and asked for help .

I think not burn the house and mill, which stood close to the bridge (hence the name).
Near the new bridge Millers some semblance of her too.

Exactly.

He himself was born in Hanau, lived then in Russia, and died here.

It is a mistake to pronounce.
Just as example, and Heinrich Heine, whose real name is Heinrich Hayne :)
