Könneritzbrücke, Steel truss bridge in Schleußig, Leipzig, Germany.

The Könneritzbrücke spans 31 meters across the Weiße Elster river, connecting the districts of Schleußig and Plagwitz with its riveted iron girder construction.

The current iron structure replaced a wooden bridge in 1899, marking a significant advancement in Leipzig's infrastructure during the industrial development of Plagwitz district.

The bridge stands as a cultural heritage monument of Germany, representing the engineering capabilities and architectural methods of late 19th century Leipzig.

The structure serves as a central connection point for walking routes, including paths to Sachsenbrücke and the New Leipzig City Hall.

The bridge bears the name of Léonçe Könneritz and features a combination of truss girders and arch elements in its structural design.
