Ernst-Walz-Brücke

The Ernst-Walz-Brücke is a road bridge spanning the Neckar River in Heidelberg that links two neighboring districts. The structure carries vehicles, trams, bicycles, and pedestrians across the river, serving as a busy crossing point.

The bridge was built in 1928 and named after a former Heidelberg mayor. It was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1950.

The bridge reflects the engineering practices of the early 20th century and stands as the third central crossing point over the Neckar River in Heidelberg.

The bridge serves as a main traffic route through the city center and links important streets. Both drivers and cyclists can use it as a daily crossing point.

The structure lies 1200 meters downstream from the Theodor-Heuss-Bridge and 600 meters upstream from the Wieblingen weir and canal entrance.
