Main-Neckar bridge, Railway bridge in central Frankfurt, Germany
The Main-Neckar Bridge is a steel railway crossing in Frankfurt that carries four tracks over the Main River. The structure spans about 264 meters and uses a truss design typical of 19th-century industrial engineering.
An earlier wooden bridge built in 1848 originally crossed at this location as the city's rail network grew. It was replaced in 1882 by this steel structure to handle increased train traffic and heavier loads.
The bridge stands as an example of German engineering precision, connecting the Main-Neckar railway line to Frankfurt's central station through daily train passages.
You can view the bridge from the northern or southern Main riverbank, with good vantage points along the waterside paths. Daytime is when train activity is most noticeable if you want to see it in use.
This was one of the earliest major steel structures in German railway construction, demonstrating what was technically possible at that time. Its truss design later became a reference point for other railway bridges built across Europe.
