Holstenbrücke, Road and arch bridge near Holstentor, Lübeck, Germany.
The Holstenbrücke spans across the Trave River, connecting the western end of Holstenstrasse with the area leading to the Holstentor gate.
First documented in 1216 as a wooden structure, the bridge was destroyed by a storm surge in 1320 and underwent multiple reconstructions throughout centuries.
The 1516 reconstruction drew inspiration from bridge designs in Nuremberg, reflecting the architectural exchange between German medieval trading cities.
The bridge underwent a significant expansion in 1934 to accommodate increased traffic while preserving the core structure from 1854.
The Holstenbrücke marks the boundary between the upper and lower sections of the city Trave, serving as a geographical reference point.
