Stone bridge over the Rhine

The Stone Bridge over the Rhine connects the German and Swiss municipalities of Rheinfelden through a reinforced concrete structure spanning the river.

Architect Walter Joss designed this border crossing structure in 1912, marking a significant advancement in reinforced concrete construction techniques during that period.

The bridge holds class B Swiss cultural property status, representing the architectural heritage of both German and Swiss communities in the Rheinfelden region.

The structure provides a direct route between the two Rheinfelden municipalities, serving local residents and international travelers crossing between Germany and Switzerland.

This border bridge unites two towns sharing the same name but belonging to different countries, creating a single urban space across national boundaries.
