In 1933, at the instigation of the art-loving Landammann Erhard Branger, the municipality of Davos acquired the painting Rathaus Davos Platz, directly from Kirchner, after lengthy purchase negotiations, and despite some resistance from the population. The artist not only gave the community a considerable discount on the originally estimated purchase price, but also offered it the current painting.The Bridge at Wiesen hung with two other paintings by Kirchner at Branger's office in Davos town hall, since the Summer of until he left office in 1936. The whereabouts of the painting in the following decades are unclear. In the 1960s it was open to public view and housed unprotected in the premises of the Davos Tourist Office. Since the late 1960s the painting was exhibited in numerous art museums in European cities and in the United States. The insurance value of the painting increased steadily over time.In 1982, it was donated to the collection of the Kirchner Museum in Davos, where it still hangs.
