Willigisbrücke, Road bridge in Aschaffenburg, Germany

The Willigisbrücke connects the districts of Leider and Nilkheim with the city center of Aschaffenburg, spanning across the Main River at kilometer 87.12.

The first bridge at this location was constructed in 989 under Archbishop Willigis, serving as the only Main River crossing between Frankfurt and Würzburg.

Local students from Hanns-Seidel and Friedrich-Dessauer high schools participate in artistic projects to promote awareness of the bridge's historical significance.

The steel bridge, opened in 1969, features a clearance height of 6.85 meters and stands as one of three road bridges crossing the Main River in Aschaffenburg.

During the Thirty Years' War in 1631, Father Bernhard von Trier met Swedish King Gustav II Adolf on this bridge to negotiate the city's protection.
