Arthur-von-Weinberg-Steg

The Arthur-von-Weinberg-Steg is a steel arch structure spanning the Main River with a flat deck for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge also carries an industrial pipeline that once transported materials between factories on either side.

The bridge was built and opened in 1982, receiving its name in the following year to honor a German industrialist and factory owner. This naming reflects the local industrial heritage of the region.

The bridge joins Fechenheim and Bürgel, creating a connection between two neighboring districts across the Main River. Local residents use it regularly to move between these areas on foot or by bicycle.

The bridge provides a direct, level path for walkers and cyclists crossing the river with no steep sections. The simple flat design makes it easy to use at any time of day or year.

Beyond its role as a simple walking path, the bridge once served as industrial infrastructure with integrated pipelines. These pipes carried wastewater between chemical plants on opposite banks until the early 2010s, making it a quiet witness to the region's manufacturing past.
