Kurt-Schumacher-Brücke, Cable-stayed road bridge in Mannheim, Germany.
The Kurt-Schumacher-Brücke stretches 1.5 kilometers across the Rhine River, connecting Mannheim and Ludwigshafen with four traffic lanes and dedicated tram tracks.
The bridge opened on June 28, 1972, representing an investment of 130 million Deutsche Mark and marking the first cable-stayed bridge using parallel wire bundles.
The structure functions as a meeting point between Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, with the state border running through the center of the bridge.
The bridge incorporates separate lanes for vehicles, trams, bicycles, and pedestrians, while one pillar contains an elevator and the other includes emergency stairs.
The asymmetrical design features a single A-shaped pylon that rises 71.5 meters above the bridge deck, supporting the structure with multiple groups of steel cables.
