Eric-Warburg-Brücke, Steel bascule bridge in Lübeck, Germany.

The Eric-Warburg Bridge is a steel bascule bridge that crosses the Trave River and connects the districts of St. Gertrud and St. Lorenz-North. The structure allows river vessels to pass by raising its movable section.

Peter Rehder, Lübeck's 19th-century building director, planned a high bridge near the Stuckfähre as part of a future ring road, but the citizens' assembly rejected it. The present bridge, part of the Nordtangente ring road, opened to vehicle traffic on 10 March 2008. Its navigation channel is 37.5 m wide, with 6 m clearance under the closed flap and 7 m at the side gate.

The bridge is named after a Hamburg banker who worked to protect the city during wartime. The name reflects this historical connection between the city and international relief organizations.

The bridge carries the Nordtangente ring road between St. Gertrud and St. Lorenz-Nord, linking the A 1/Schwartauer Allee with Travemünder Allee. Its bascule span clears 37.5 m for shipping, with 6 m headroom under the closed flap at mean water and 7 m at the side gate. The red-painted control building and concrete counterweight stand beside the deck.

The bridge's name honours Hamburg banker Eric M. Warburg, whose family still runs the private bank M. M. Warburg & CO. During the Second World War he worked through the International Committee of the Red Cross and its Swiss president Carl Jacob Burckhardt to spare Lübeck further bombing after the raid of 29 March 1942.
