Ignatz-Bubis bridge, Road arch bridge in Frankfurt, Germany

The Ignatz-Bubis Bridge spans 183.75 meters across the Main River, connecting Frankfurt city center with the Sachsenhausen district through five structural arches.

After its initial construction in 1878, the Wehrmacht damaged two middle arches in March 1945, leading to a complete reconstruction completed in June 1949.

The bridge received its current name in December 2000 to honor Ignatz Bubis, who served as chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany.

The structure supports Bundesstrasse 3, tram line 18, and accommodates traffic heading toward Sachsenhausen with a width of 15.20 meters.

Local residents once called it Metzgerbrucke due to its location near a slaughterhouse, serving as the main route for butchers traveling to work.
