Nibelungenbrücke Worms, Cultural heritage road bridge in Worms, Germany

The Nibelungenbrücke stretches 744 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the city of Worms with the municipalities of Lampertheim and Bürstadt.

The structure, completed in 1953, replaced the Ernst Ludwig Bridge that German troops destroyed during their retreat in March 1945.

The bridge features the Nibelungen Tower, a 53-meter-high gate tower designed by architect Karl Hofmann displaying the coat of arms of Worms.

The bridge system consists of two parallel structures, with the older section carrying traffic into the city and the newer section directing vehicles outward.

The Nibelungenbrücke holds the distinction of being Germany's first prestressed concrete bridge constructed using the free cantilever method.
