Deutschherrn bridge

Deutschherrn bridge is a steel arch bridge crossing the Main River in Frankfurt and measuring 274 meters long. It carries two railway tracks with a pedestrian walkway alongside for public use.

Built in 1947 after World War II, the bridge connects Frankfurt Main Süd station with the Aschaffenburg rail line. It became a key part of regional rail infrastructure in the years that followed.

The steel arch structure holds protected status as a cultural heritage monument in both Germany and the state of Hesse for its engineering excellence.

Regional trains cross the bridge throughout the day, connecting various parts of the city and surrounding areas. The pedestrian path is easily accessible and offers good views of the river below.

DB Engineering conducted evaluations to increase track spacing on the bridge while maintaining its protected status and current traffic patterns.
