Brücke der Solidarität

The Bridge of Solidarity spans 255.9 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the districts of Rheinhausen and Hochfeld with three traffic lanes.

The German Wehrmacht destroyed the previous Admiral-Graf-Spee bridge in March 1945, leading to the construction of this new structure completed in July 1950.

The bridge received its current name in January 1988 when 50,000 steel workers marched across it to protest the closure of the Krupp manufacturing plant.

A modern traffic light system allows authorities to modify the direction of traffic lanes according to the volume of vehicles during different times.

The bridge stands as Germany's largest tied-arch bridge from 1950, featuring a deck width of 9 meters and an arch height of 35.5 meters.
