Nibelungen Bridge, Protected heritage bridge in Linz, Austria
The Nibelungen Bridge extends across the Danube River, connecting the central district of Linz with the northern district of Urfahr through six traffic lanes.
The bridge construction started in 1938 and finished in 1940, incorporating granite materials from the Mauthausen concentration camp during the Nazi regime period.
A memorial plaque at the bridge commemorates the Sudeten Germans who arrived in Linz following their 1945 displacement from Czechoslovakia after World War II.
Public transportation routes include tram lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 50, which pass through the Hauptplatz station near the bridge for convenient access.
From 1945 to 1953, the bridge marked the boundary between American and Soviet occupation zones, with military checkpoints controlling movement between sectors.
