Bogenbrücke, Stone arch bridge in Marktheidenfeld, Germany.

The Bogenbrücke, also known as the Mainbrücke Marktheidenfeld, is a straight stone arch bridge crossing the Main at river kilometre 179.79. It has seven segmental arches with a clear span of 23.6 m and a rise of 4.6 m, giving pier axis distances of 27.2 m. The piers are about 3.6 m wide at the top. Red Main sandstone was used; the two arches destroyed in 1945 were rebuilt in concrete and faced with natural stone.

Built from 1835 to 1846 as part of the Würzburg–Aschaffenburg road, the bridge was inaugurated on 29 January 1846. On 2 April 1945 German troops blew up two arches, which were rebuilt in concrete a year later. The 2002 Nordbrücke now carries through traffic.

The bridge links two sides of the city and serves as a place where residents pause to view the river below. Over time it has become woven into daily routines, used by pedestrians and cyclists who cross it without thinking much about its age.

The walkway is narrow and shared with vehicle traffic, so pedestrians should stay alert and move to the side when cars approach. Walking here early in the morning or late afternoon avoids the heaviest traffic periods.

The bridge appears in Marktheidenfeld's town coat of arms, and the star beside it stands for the lucky star that seemed to shine over the town once the bridge was built. A bronze bust of King Ludwig I, unveiled at the western bridgehead on 23 August 1896, was handed over in 1940 as an "Adolf Hitler donation" for armaments and melted down.
