Schwedlerbrücke, Steel footbridge in Frankfurt Ost, Germany
The Schwedlerbrücke extends 245 meters across the Frankfurt East railway yard, connecting the harbor area with residential districts near Röderberg and Ostpark.
Built in 1910 by the Royal Prussian Railway during the development of Frankfurt's eastern harbor, the bridge features red Main sandstone pillars and concrete supports.
The bridge represents a significant example of early 20th-century German infrastructure design, named after Berlin engineer Johann Wilhelm Schwedler.
The three-meter-wide pedestrian crossing provides direct access between the Ostpark recreational area and the eastern harbor district of Frankfurt.
The structure combines two distinct sections: a straight beam bridge in the north and four flat-arched Schwedler trusses in the south.
