The Müngstener Brücke souvenir zero euro series was launched by EuroSouvenir in 2016–2017 as a licensed collectible product, printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire under the same security specifications used for genuine euro banknotes — UV-reactive ink, microprinting, and a genuine serial number. The European Central Bank formally authorized the concept on the condition that the face value remain zero, making them legal to produce but worthless as tender by design.
The Müngstener Brücke, spanning the Wupper valley between Remscheid and Solingen, is the highest railway bridge in Germany at 107 meters. It has been proposed for UNESCO World Heritage status multiple times.
