Alte Brücke, Stone arch bridge in Frankfurt, Germany
The Alte Brücke spans 237 meters across the Main River with eight arches made of red sandstone and a steel center section.
First documented in 1222, the bridge underwent 18 reconstructions, with the current structure inaugurated in 1926 by Mayor Ludwig Landmann.
The bridge features the Brickegickel crucifix and a statue of Charlemagne, representing Frankfurt's medieval heritage and religious significance.
The bridge connects Frankfurt's old town Fahrgasse district to Sachsenhausen district, serving both vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Main River.
An art exhibition space called Portikus stands on a small island beneath the bridge, occupying the location of former medieval bridge mills.
