Alte Lahnbrücke, Stone arch bridge in Wetzlar, Germany
The Old Lahn Bridge extends 104 meters across the Lahn River, featuring stone construction and multiple arches that support pedestrian traffic.
Built between 1250 and 1280, the bridge originally included two defensive towers that remained in place until their removal in 1832.
The bridge stands as a registered cultural heritage monument, forming an essential component of Wetzlar's historic old town architectural ensemble.
Pedestrians can access the bridge from both riverbanks, connecting the medieval center of Wetzlar with the opposite shore neighborhoods.
The structure underwent significant modifications in 1865 when workers replaced the original wall with an iron lattice to accommodate a new footpath.
