Bierbrücke

The Bierbrücke is a stone structure that crosses the Chemnitz River and connects different parts of the city. It features arched openings and was built with sandstone, allowing both pedestrians and vehicles to use it.

The bridge was completed in 1869 and replaced earlier wooden structures that had been damaged by flooding and ice. The shift to stone made the structure more resistant to the river's forces.

The stone bridge displays 19th-century craftsmanship through its arched design and carefully worked details. Visitors can observe these hand-built structures while crossing or viewing them from below.

The bridge is easily accessible on foot and located near the city center where information is readily available. It is suitable for cyclists and connects to regional cycling routes.

The name comes from historical beer cellars built in 1536 that were used to store beverages beneath the original wooden bridge. This connection to beer reflects the long history of the location.
