Carl-Ulrich-Brücke, Road bridge between Offenbach am Main and Frankfurt-Fechenheim, Germany.
Description
The Carl-Ulrich Bridge connects Offenbach am Main with Frankfurt's Fechenheim district across the river and carries a road with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. The structure uses a steel girder system spanning about 234 meters and provides a roadway roughly 14 meters wide.
History
A floating bridge was built here in 1819 to circumvent Frankfurt's toll system and improve the connection between the areas. Over two centuries, the structure underwent several renovations and reinforcements.
Culture
The bridge carries the name of Carl Ulrich, a figure from the early Weimar period whose legacy is tied to the region's identity. For residents, it functions as an unremarkable yet essential link woven into the fabric of daily commuting between the two districts.
Practical
The crossing is straightforward to walk or cycle across thanks to clearly marked paths for both types of users. Visitors should note that this is an active traffic route where vehicles pass through regularly.
Did you know?
During the 2014 renovation, the number of supports was cut from six to four, greatly expanding the open water space beneath the structure. This redesign made it easier for larger vessels to pass underneath.
