Schwabelweis road bridge, Steel arch road bridge in Regensburg, Germany.
Description
The Schwabelweis Bridge is a steel arch bridge that crosses the Danube valley near Regensburg and carries two federal highways. The structure spans roughly 500 meters and links different parts of the city together.
History
The bridge was built in 1981 to meet growing traffic needs in Regensburg during the West German period. It replaced older and more limited crossing options over the river.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from a nearby settlement and shows how Regensburg's transport solutions modernized in the 20th century. Its steel structure looks completely different from the medieval stone bridge further downstream.
Practical
Access is straightforward since the bridge was designed for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians and offers a wide traffic route. It is normally open daily and can be reached from several directions.
Did you know?
The bridge is a pure engineering structure without decorative elements, making it a rare example of functionalist architecture in this region. Many visitors overlook that its beauty lies entirely in the clean lines of the steel arch.
