Iron Bridge

The Iron Bridge is a modern steel structure crossing the Danube in Regensburg, connecting different sections of the city across a span of 82 meters. It uses contemporary engineering techniques and serves as a key crossing point for daily traffic over the river.

The bridge was completed in 1991 as part of Regensburg's modern infrastructure development. Its construction responded to the city's growing transportation needs in the late 20th century.

The bridge represents how contemporary construction blends with Regensburg's older urban fabric. It sits alongside medieval structures and creates a visual dialogue between different periods of the city's development.

The bridge is freely accessible and can be crossed on foot or by bicycle. The best views of the Danube are from the bridge's midpoint and the riverbank areas on both sides.

The bridge stands directly next to the Stone Bridge, a medieval structure from the 12th century. This pairing shows how Regensburg evolved over centuries and found new solutions for enduring challenges.
