Himmel's Church Covered Bridge is a historic wooden road bridge spanning Schwaben Creek on Middle Creek Road east of Rebuck in Washington Township, Pennsylvania. Built in 1874, it is one of the small surviving covered bridges that still carries local traffic. The 44-foot bridge uses a King post truss design and was rehabilitated in 1973, preserving both its structure and everyday use by automobiles. Its significance was formally recognized when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1979. The bridge also holds a place in local folklore through its association with the legend of the Schwaben Creek werewolf.
