Schwabentorbrücke, Transport bridge in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Schwabentorbrücke spans across the Dreisam River, connecting the city center to eastern districts through both tram tracks and road lanes.
After a severe flood destroyed the stone bridge in 1896, engineers constructed an iron bridge in 1898, which was later replaced by a concrete structure in 1974.
Two neo-Gothic towers flank the bridge, featuring sculptures of Albertus Magnus on the north side and Martin Malterer with Leopold III of Habsburg on the south.
The bridge carries tram line 1 from Landwasser to Littenweiler, while vehicle traffic flows only in the westbound direction toward the city center.
The northern tower served as a flood watch station, while the southern tower contained control mechanisms for the Kronenmühlen canal system.
