Albertbrücke, Stone bridge in Johannstadt, Dresden, Germany.

The Albertbrücke spans 325 meters across the Elbe River, connecting Johannstadt and Dresden Neustadt with stone arches and dedicated lanes for vehicles and pedestrians.

Built in 1877 under engineer Karl Manck's supervision, the bridge suffered damage in 1945 when three arches on each side were destroyed during military operations.

The bridge features marble sculptures, including a portrait of King Albert and Dresden's coat of arms, along with reliefs depicting river life and workers.

The structure accommodates 13,800 vehicles and 23,000 tram passengers daily, with speed limits of 30 kilometers per hour to maintain safety standards.

The bronze statue of an archer at the Neustadt riverbank between Albertbrücke and Carolabrücke represents medieval defense traditions of Dresden.
