Brücke, Stone arch bridge in Ochsenfurt, Germany

The Alte Mainbrücke stretches 270 meters across the Main River, featuring ten supporting pillars and connecting Ochsenfurt with the Kleinochsenfurt district.

Construction of the stone arches began in 1512 under architect Hans Bock, replacing an earlier wooden bridge that dated back to 1133.

The bridge's highest pillars display alcoves with statues representing historical figures from the region, reflecting local heritage and craftsmanship.

The structure accommodates one lane for vehicles under 3.5 tons, includes dedicated paths for cyclists in both directions, and provides a separate walkway.

Shell limestone blocks form the visible arches while the vaults contain rubble stone, demonstrating medieval construction techniques still visible today.
