Jungbuschbrücke, Road and beam bridge in Mannheim, Germany
The Jungbuschbrücke is a road bridge with steel beam construction that crosses the Neckar River and provides four traffic lanes for vehicles. Separate paths run on both sides for pedestrians and cyclists to safely cross the river.
The original structure was built between 1905 and 1908 from designs by architect Hermann Billing with decorative elements. After destruction in World War II, it was rebuilt in 1957 with a modern steel beam system.
The bridge plays a central role in connecting the Jungbusch district with Neckarstadt-West, forming a vital link in Mannheim's urban landscape.
The bridge is designed for through traffic and enables smooth crossing for cars, buses and trucks in both directions. Pedestrians and cyclists find adequate space on separate paths to safely manage the river crossing.
The bridge follows an S-shaped curve that makes crossing it interesting from different viewpoints. This gentle curve is intentional, a deliberate design choice when it was rebuilt after the war.
