Mauterner Donaubrücke, Truss bridge in Krems, Austria

The Mauterner Bridge spans 374 meters across the Danube River, connecting the city districts of Stein and Mautern with a width of 11 meters.

Construction of the steel truss bridge started in 1893, replacing a wooden structure, and officially opened on May 18, 1895 as the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph Bridge.

The bridge location marks the second Danube crossing point established in Austria, with documented river passages dating back to 100 CE.

Current regulations limit vehicle weight to 5 tons, while the bridge remains accessible for pedestrians and cyclists crossing between Krems and Mautern.

During World War II, German forces partially destroyed the bridge on May 8, 1945, but Soviet engineers completed repairs within 60 days.
