Zeppelinbrücke, Tram bridge in Westvorstadt, Leipzig, Germany
The Zeppelinbrücke spans 155.8 meters across the Elster basin, featuring concrete arches and dedicated lanes for trams, vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Construction of the bridge started in 1913 under architect Hugo Licht's design, opening in 1915 and receiving its name from aviation pioneer Ferdinand von Zeppelin.
The bridge serves as a vital connection between Leipzig's central district and western neighborhoods, integrating public transportation with urban development patterns.
The structure carries two tram tracks of lines 3, 7, 8, and 15, alongside two lanes of Bundesstraße 87 and separate paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
During the 1930s, postcards depicted the bridge with zeppelin airships, reflecting the technological advancement and transportation innovations of the period.
