Bürgermeister-Smidt-Brücke, Road bridge across Weser River in Bremen, Germany.
Description
The Bürgermeister-Smidt-Brücke is a road bridge spanning the Weser River in Bremen, connecting the districts of Mitte and Neustadt. Built with a steel construction, it carries vehicles, trams, and buses across the water daily.
History
The bridge was built between 1951 and 1952 as a new construction after World War II. Its predecessor was destroyed in 1945, and this new span represented Bremen's reconstruction during the post-war period.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from Mayor Johann Smidt, who shaped Bremen's development in the 19th century. Today it serves as a daily connection between two districts, linking the city's modern life with its past.
Practical
Visitors can cross the bridge on foot or by bicycle and get a clear view of the river and surrounding districts. It is worth pausing while crossing to observe the landscape on both sides.
Did you know?
From the bridge, visitors can spot the Three Triangles sculpture near Teerhof and discover the Museum Weserburg on the eastern side. These artworks offer a glimpse into Bremen's contemporary art scene.
