\nTriest, ca. 1925 \u2013 1929
\nFrom the Archives of ETH Zurich (Hs 1391:56)<\/p>\n

Several engineers were involved in the construction of the Ura e Zogut over the River Mat in Northern Albania in the years 1926 and 1927. Until today, it is not definitely clear, who played wich role. The Italian construction firm Ing. Mazorana & Co. from Trieste was in charge of the construction of the bridge. Construction plans in the archives in Tirana show a signature by German engineer professor Emil M\u00f6rsch of the Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart (Technical Highschool Stuttgart). On the construction site, Swiss engineer Erwin Schnitter overlooked the work. In his report about the construction of the bridge, he doesn\u201d\u2122t mention M\u00f6rsch, but his younger brother Gerold Schnitter. Gerold Schnitter was also working for Mazorana from 1925 until 1929 and became later a professor at the Eidgen\u00f6ssische Technische Hochschule Z\u00fcrich (Federal Technical Highschool Zurich, Switzerland). In the university\u201d\u2122s archives, I\u201d\u2122ve found his work journal. It is a clear record for Gerold Schnitter\u201d\u2122s involvement in the project, most probably focussing on calculations regarding costs, pressure, raw materials and supplies. The last page summaries the 1927 projects for a bridge over river Gjola \u2013 \u201d\u017eUra [e] Gjol\u00ebs\u201c West of Fush\u00eb-Kruja (68 m) and for the \u201d\u017eUra Lesh\u201c resp. \u201d\u017ePonte di Alessio\u201c, a bridge of 119 m in the centre of the city of Lezh\u00eb over the Old Drin River.
