Steinerne Brücke, Stone bridge in Weilburg, Germany

The Steinerne Brücke crosses the Lahn River with a sequence of sixteen stone arches, extending over 300 meters in length.

The bridge construction started in 1135 under Duke Ludwig VII and was completed in 1144, establishing a critical crossing point for regional trade.

The bridge design established engineering standards that influenced numerous medieval bridges throughout Europe, including the Charles Bridge in Prague.

The structure remains accessible to pedestrians who can observe architectural details of medieval construction techniques while crossing between neighborhoods.

Each foundation foot of the bridge incorporates specific stone patterns that helped the structure maintain stability against river currents for centuries.
