Sternbrücke Magdeburg, Steel arch footbridge in Magdeburg, Germany.

The Sternbrücke Magdeburg is a 242.2-metre steel tied-arch bridge over the Elbe at kilometre 325.10, linking the old town with the Rotehorn island. Its 137-metre arch spans the river, and the 15.25-metre-wide deck now carries only pedestrians, cyclists, buses and taxis. The steel structure weighs about 900 tonnes.

A first bridge here was inaugurated on 14 June 1922 by mayor Hermann Beims, after construction began in May 1914 and was delayed by cracks in the bank piers. Wehrmacht units blew it up on 12 April 1945. The rebuilt bridge opened on 1 May 2005 before 100,000 people.

The name Sternbrücke comes not from the bridge's shape but from the Sternschanze, a fortress that once stood on the western bank of the Elbe. The bridge was renamed Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke in March 1925 and Adolf-Hitler-Brücke in May 1933, before returning to its original name. Today it carries only cyclists, pedestrians, buses and taxis.

The bridge carries only cyclists, pedestrians, buses and taxis; other motor vehicles are barred. It spans the Elbe at river kilometre 325.10, linking the old town with the Rotehorn island and Rotehornpark. Its deck sits 20 metres high and gives shipping 1.1 metres more clearance than the old bridge.

The bridge features a steel arch design that creates varying visual effects depending on the time of day and weather conditions. The metallic surface catches sunlight differently throughout the day, giving the structure a shifting appearance.
