Neutorbrücke, Road bridge and cultural heritage monument in Ulm, Germany
The Neutorbrücke is a road bridge crossing the railway tracks in Ulm, equipped with decorative towers topped with gilded finials. The steel construction uses cantilever and truss elements to span approximately 290 meters.
Construction took place in 1907 by Levi & Büttner and Machinefabrik Esslingen during Ulm's infrastructure expansion. The bridge reflects the engineering skill of the early 1900s as the city underwent rapid growth.
The tower portals display Ulm's coat of arms in black and white, connecting the bridge to the city's identity. These symbols remind those crossing of the town's place in regional history.
The bridge sits near Ulm's main railway station and serves both vehicles and pedestrians as a central crossing point. You can easily access it from Kienlesbergstrasse, which offers a direct viewing angle.
From Kienlesbergstrasse, both the Neutorbrücke and Ulm Cathedral come into view at once. This rare sightline merges two entirely different types of structures, one a feat of modern engineering and the other a soaring religious monument.
