Alte Nahebrücke, Medieval stone bridge in Bad Kreuznach, Germany

The Alte Nahebrücke spans 135 meters across the Nahe River and Mühlenteich canal with eight supporting sandstone and porphyry rock arches.

Built around 1300 by Simon II, Count of Sponheim-Kreuznach, the bridge connected settlements and formed part of the strategic route between Mainz and Trier.

The bridge features four timber houses constructed between 1582 and 1612, representing medieval architectural solutions to limited urban space.

Visitors access the bridge via Mannheimer Straße, with footpaths measuring between 2 and 3 meters wide alongside a 6-meter road carriageway.

German troops destroyed the river-spanning section in March 1945, leading to its replacement with a concrete structure in 1956.
