Stephanibrücke

The Stephanibrücke is a road bridge spanning the Weser River that connects the Mitte and Neustadt districts of Bremen. It features separate lanes for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, with public transport stops accessible at both ends.

The bridge was built before German unification, when it became a key link between the two districts. It has undergone several structural improvements over the years to maintain its importance as a primary river crossing.

The bridge serves as a gathering spot where cyclists meet to begin rides along the riverside cycling routes. It has become a natural hub for people who travel by bicycle through the city.

The bridge has dedicated, secure areas for pedestrians and cyclists, making crossing straightforward from any direction. Both ends are easily accessible and connect directly to nearby public transport stops.

For cyclists traveling from the North Sea region, this crossing marks the first point where dedicated cycling infrastructure allows passage across the Weser. This makes it a notable waypoint for long-distance cycling routes.
