Maxau Rhine Bridge, Road bridge in Karlsruhe district, Germany
The Maxau Rhine Bridge spans 292 meters across the Rhine River, connecting Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg with Wörth in Rhineland-Palatinate through six traffic lanes.
The first bridge at this location opened in 1840 as a pontoon structure made of 34 ship hulls, enabling the initial regular Rhine crossing in the region.
The bridge takes its name from Hofgut Maxau, an estate established by Maximilian von Baden during the nineteenth century on the eastern bank.
The bridge carries an average of 78,500 vehicles daily on the B10 federal highway, providing essential infrastructure for commuters between Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate.
The 1865 version of this crossing received a gold medal at the Paris International Exposition for its innovative combination of railway and road traffic.
