Friedensbrücke, Steel road bridge in Frankfurt, Germany

Friedensbrücke is a steel road bridge spanning 287 meters across the Main River, connecting Baseler Platz on one side to Stresemannallee on the other. It contains multiple lanes for vehicles, tram lines, bicycle paths, and pedestrian walkways all integrated into one structure.

The first bridge here was built from 1844 to 1848 for the Main-Neckar Railway, with a movable iron segment near the Sachsenhausen bank. After the new main station opened in 1888, the city bought the bridge, converted it to a road bridge in 1890/1891 and renamed it Wilhelmsbrücke. On 25 March 1945 a Wehrmacht demolition charge was misplaced and only slightly damaged it; US troops crossed it the next day. It was demolished from 20 February 1950 and replaced by the Friedensbrücke, inaugurated on 1 March 1951.

A bronze sculpture titled 'The Dock Worker' from 1890 sits at the southern end, recalling the former Westhafen port area that once defined this part of the city. The work reflects how this bridge connects to the district's waterfront heritage.

The bridge carries Bundesstraße 44 along with tram lines 12, 16, 17, 20 and 21, so road traffic and trams share the crossing. It links Baseler Platz in the Gutleutviertel with the Stresemannallee in Sachsenhausen, at Main kilometre 33.890. The bronze Dock Worker stands at the southern bridgehead, a useful landmark for orientation.

The bridge carries Bundesstraße 44 and the tram lines 12, 16, 17, 20 and 21, as well as the Ebbelwei-Expreß. Its southern bridgehead holds Constantin Meunier's 1890 bronze Der Hafenarbeiter, a reminder of the Westhafen port just downstream that operated from 1885 to 1999.
