Mauterner Donaubrücke, Truss bridge in Krems, Austria
The Mauterner Donaubrücke is a steel truss bridge linking the city districts of Stein and Mautern across the Danube River. Its distinctive lattice framework creates a recognizable silhouette against the river landscape.
This steel structure was built in the 1890s, replacing an earlier wooden crossing over the Danube, and was originally named after an Austrian ruler. It became a key link connecting the two river banks.
The bridge location marks the second Danube crossing point established in Austria, with documented river passages dating back to 100 CE.
Pedestrians and cyclists frequently cross this bridge between the two districts. Current weight restrictions apply to vehicles, so it is worth checking conditions before a visit.
The bridge suffered damage near the end of World War II but was restored relatively quickly afterward. This rapid recovery remains part of the local memory of that period.
