Kröllwitzer Brücke, Heritage road bridge in Halle (Saale), Germany.
The Kröllwitzer Brücke spans 261 meters across the Saale River with a 60.8-meter central arch and 16.5-meter width, connecting Kröllwitz and Giebichenstein districts.
Built between 1926 and 1928, the bridge replaced an 1892 steel truss structure, suffered destruction in 1945, and underwent reconstruction in 1949 with subsequent renovations.
The bridge features two concrete animal sculptures by Gerhard Marcks: a horse on the Giebichenstein side and a cow on the Kröllwitz side, representing urban-rural connections.
The structure serves as one of three main river crossings in Halle, accommodating both vehicular traffic and tram lines while maintaining pedestrian access.
The bridge's surfaces contain copper slag from Mansfeld mixed into cast concrete, creating a distinct material composition that reflects local industrial heritage.
