Mainbrücke Wertheim

Mainbrücke Wertheim, Steel girder bridge in Wertheim and Kreuzwertheim, Germany.

The Mainbrücke Wertheim is a steel girder bridge spanning 178 meters across the Main River, connecting Wertheim with Kreuzwertheim. The roadway accommodates two traffic lanes and includes a separate path for pedestrians and cyclists, with the structure built from steel components that form its distinctive framework.

This structure opened in 1882 as a key connection between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. German forces destroyed its pillars on March 31, 1945, but it was reconstructed and reopened in 1953.

This bridge links two federal states and communities in daily life, shaping how people move between them. Local pedestrians and cyclists regularly cross to experience views of both riverbanks and the landscape beyond.

The bridge carries vehicles across two lanes and provides a separate area for pedestrians and cyclists, making it safe for everyone to cross. Its clearance height of about 6.5 meters allows only smaller boats to pass underneath.

Until 1984, the bridge carried a second deck for the Lohr-Wertheim railway line before it was removed. This additional element once made it a notably versatile structure that united cars, trains, and pedestrians in a single system.
