Korbinianbrücke

The Korbinianbrücke is a reinforced concrete road bridge crossing the Isar River in Freising, measuring approximately 150 meters in length. It features six arches that support the bridge deck while allowing water to flow beneath.

The bridge was built in 1893 as a replacement for earlier wooden structures that dated to the 14th century, when Freising held importance as a ducal and episcopal center. Further modifications in 1912 added additional concrete arches on the southern side to improve flood defenses.

The bridge takes its name from Saint Corbinian, the first bishop of Freising, linking the structure to the region's deep religious roots. This naming connects visitors to the spiritual heritage that shaped the town's identity.

The bridge functions as a key passage for vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Isar River. It sits in a central location within Freising, making it easily accessible for anyone traveling through the town.

The structure was reinforced with additional concrete arches specifically designed to protect against flood disasters. These reinforcements show how the region adapted to the river's forces, making it an example of practical engineering adjustment.
