The water flows under the bridge into the "Hell Pond" 10 metres below, which was created by Heinrich Christoph Jussow in 1792/93. The bridge grating of the Devil's Bridge was cast in 1826 by the Henschel company, which had become famous for locomotive construction. In Jussow's time, the bridge railing was still made of wood.
The names of Devil's Bridge and the Hell Pond are related to the adjacent Pluto Grotto. According to legend, Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld, sat in this grotto.
