Pfaffendorf Bridge, Road bridge in Koblenz, Germany.
Description
The Pfaffendorf Bridge crosses the Rhine and links central Koblenz with the Pfaffendorf district and Ehrenbreitstein neighborhood. The road follows the federal highway B49 route and provides four lanes for vehicles plus separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
History
A first structure was built in 1864 as a railway bridge for the Rhenish Railway Company. German troops destroyed it in March 1945, and the current bridge was rebuilt in 1953.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from the Pfaffendorf district, which it connects on the right Rhine bank. Visitors can observe this crossing from both sides and experience how it links different parts of the city together.
Practical
Pedestrians and cyclists have separate, safe paths across the bridge with clear views of the river. The crossings are easily accessible from both banks and make it simple to move between neighborhoods.
Did you know?
This crossing was made possible through early negotiations between Prussia and Nassau that enabled its construction. The location marks an important point in the city's regional transportation history.
