Old Rhine Bridge

The Old Rhine Bridge extends 128 meters across the Rhine River, combining road traffic lanes with a single-track electrified railway system.

Built and officially opened in 1938, the bridge replaced earlier wooden structures that had served as crossing points since the 10th century.

The bridge connects the Petershausen district to the city center of Constance, maintaining the historical link between these two significant urban areas.

The structure features two lanes heading into the city center, three lanes in the opposite direction, plus designated bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways.

A mill integrated into the previous bridge structure in 1418 regulated water levels between the Upper and Lower lakes of Constance.
