Honsell bridge, Steel and road bridge in Osthafen district, Frankfurt, Germany

The Honsell Bridge extends 95.3 meters across the Frankfurter Osthafen, featuring two traffic lanes plus designated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.

Construction of the bridge started in 1908 during the harbor expansion, with inauguration occurring in 1912 under the guidance of civil engineer Max Honsell.

The bridge structure incorporates Art Nouveau design elements with maritime-themed stone reliefs that depict harbor work activities on its decorative fixtures.

The bridge underwent a 14-million-euro renovation between 2011 and 2013, resulting in enhanced load capacity and wider lanes for vehicles and pedestrians.

The bridge contains an orthotropic slab in the pedestrian area and utilizes enclosed cables to suspend the steel composite deck from newly constructed arches.
