Rheinbrücke Wintersdorf, Steel road bridge between Beinheim, France and Wintersdorf, Germany
The 600-meter bridge spans across the Rhine River with steel girders supporting vehicle traffic and pedestrian walkways on both sides of the structure.
Built in 1895 by the German Reich for strategic purposes, the bridge changed ownership to France after World War I when Alsace returned to French control.
The bridge serves as a physical connection between French and German communities, enabling daily interactions between residents of both countries through generations.
The structure provides a direct route for vehicles and pedestrians crossing between France and Germany, reducing travel time between Beinheim and Wintersdorf.
From 1947 to 1960, access to the bridge remained restricted to French military forces before opening to public transportation after diplomatic negotiations.
