Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke

The Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke spans the Moselle River using multiple segments supported by sturdy pylons that rise above the water. It carries car traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists between different parts of Trier, making it a key route through the city.

The bridge was completed in 1972 as Trier expanded following World War II. Its steel structure and modern design reflect the reconstruction and modernization efforts of that postwar period.

The bridge is named after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany who led postwar reconstruction. Today it functions as an ordinary part of daily life, linking residential and working areas on both sides of the river.

The structure has separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists that run safely alongside vehicle traffic. The wide design allows smooth passage across the river regardless of how you travel.

The bridge offers good views of the Moselle riverbank and shows the architecture of Trier's modern infrastructure. Many visitors don't notice that the pylons represent engineering techniques from the 1970s.
