Konrad Adenauer Bridge, Road bridge over Rhine River in Mannheim, Germany
The Konrad Adenauer Bridge is a road crossing over the Rhine between Mannheim and Ludwigshafen, measuring about 272 meters in total length. The structure carries Federal Highway 37 and tram tracks across the river, linking two major city centers.
The original structure at this location was destroyed during World War II, and the current crossing was rebuilt between 1956 and 1959. The bridge received its present name in 1967, marking the region's recovery and reconnection.
The bridge takes its name from Germany's first chancellor, a leader who shaped the nation during its post-war rebuilding years. This dedication shows how the crossing became a symbol of connection between territories that needed to work together.
The bridge connects two states and forms part of Federal Highway 37, making it a key junction for traffic between regions. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross here, but should expect busy vehicle traffic.
Running parallel to this bridge are two separate railway bridges serving different rail lines, creating a densely packed transportation corridor over the river. This arrangement makes the location a notable example of how infrastructure is concentrated at a strategically important river crossing.
