Schwanheimer Brücke, Steel road bridge in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The Schwanheimer Brücke spans 489 meters across the Main River, connecting the districts of Nied and Schwanheim with two lanes in each direction.
Local citizens established a stock company to fund the bridge construction, which was completed in 1869 under the direction of engineer Johann Peter Wilhelm Schmick.
The bridge serves as a connection point between communities, integrating the transportation network of Frankfurt's southern districts through Federal Highway 40.
The structure includes dedicated pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths on both sides, while bus line 51 regularly crosses between Niederrad and Höchst.
German Wehrmacht forces destroyed the original bridge in March 1945, leading to temporary pontoon crossings until its reconstruction in November 1946.
