Alte Werrabrücke, Stone arch bridge in Hann. Münden, Germany

The Alte Werrabrücke stretches 105 meters across the Werra River, featuring six arches supported by five pillars with pointed ice breakers on the southeast side.

Built in the 1220s to replace a wooden structure, this bridge served as a key connection point on the trade route from Frankfurt am Main to Northern Germany.

The bridge collected tolls from its construction until 1849, marking its significance in the economic development of the Hann. Münden region.

The structure connects the old town with the historic Blume district and remains accessible to pedestrians, with occasional vehicle access permitted since 1995.

During World War II, the Alte Werrabrücke stood as the only bridge in the area that was not destroyed, continuing to serve the local population.
