Ignatz-Bubis bridge, Road arch bridge in Frankfurt, Germany
Description
The Ignatz-Bubis Bridge is a road arch bridge spanning the Main River in Frankfurt, connecting the city center with the Sachsenhausen district. The structure measures approximately 184 meters long and 15 meters wide, with five stone arches supporting its length.
History
The bridge was originally built in 1878 and served as an important crossing for decades. During World War II in March 1945, two middle arches were damaged, prompting a complete reconstruction that finished in 1949.
Culture
The bridge has carried the name of a significant Jewish community leader since 2000. This naming reflects the city's recognition of his contributions and serves as a visible reminder in the urban landscape.
Practical
The bridge is used daily by cars, trams, and pedestrians and is easily accessible on foot. When visiting, note that there are no wide viewing areas directly on the bridge, and the best views are from the riverbanks or nearby bridges.
