Camsdorf Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Jena, Germany.
The Camsdorf Bridge is a stone arch bridge spanning the Saale River with nine arches that connects central Jena to the eastern suburb of Wenigenjena. Both vehicular traffic and a double-track tram system operate across it.
The bridge was built in 1480 using stones from demolished castles on Hausberg mountain. It was reconstructed in 1946 after being destroyed during World War II.
The bridge is part of the Seven Wonders of Jena, a collection of structures recognized by University of Jena alumni as particularly significant to the city's identity. Visitors notice it as a central element of local architectural heritage.
The bridge is accessible daily to pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles and offers good views of the river and city. The best way to experience it is on foot to properly appreciate the views and stone construction.
A small chapel stood on the bridge until 1824, serving as a boundary between the city and the village of Camsdorf. The chapel also served as a collection point for donations to maintain the bridge.
