Gernsheim Bridge

Gernsheim Bridge, Road bridge in Gernsheim, Germany.

The Gernsheim Bridge was a reinforced concrete structure that crossed the Rhine with multiple spans supported by robust concrete piers. The design showcased modern engineering techniques of the period and represented a significant technical achievement for its time.

The bridge was completed in 1940 and served briefly as a crossing over the Rhine. Military forces destroyed the structure completely in March 1945 during World War II.

The bridge represented a major infrastructure development for the Rhine region, connecting communities and supporting local economic growth before its destruction.

The bridge no longer exists today and there is no active crossing at this location. Visitors can reach the site to view the historical spot on the Rhine riverbank.

The bridge was among the few structures destroyed in this region during the war, and archival photographs still show details of its construction. These records help understand the engineering methods of that era today.
