Kaiserbrücke, Railway bridge in Mainz, Germany.
The Kaiserbrücke railway bridge stretches 681 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the northern areas of Mainz with the city of Wiesbaden through steel truss construction.
German Emperor Wilhelm II inaugurated the original bridge on May 1, 1904, which later faced destruction in 1945 when German forces detonated Rhine bridges during World War II.
The bridge design incorporates Art Nouveau elements and holds recognition as a cultural heritage monument, reflecting early 20th-century German engineering and architectural achievements.
Deutsche Bahn maintains this railway infrastructure, which serves the Mainbahn line while providing essential transportation connections between Mainz and Wiesbaden metropolitan regions.
The rebuilt structure, renamed Nordbrücke in 1955, retains elements of the original foundation and sculptures but features simplified architectural details compared to its predecessor.
