Munderkinger Donaubrücke, Road bridge over Danube River in Munderkingen, Germany
The Munderkinger Donaubrücke crosses the Danube and connects the town center with the northern district and railway station. The current structure includes two traffic lanes and separate pathways on each side for pedestrian use.
The original was built in 1893 as the region's first three-hinged concrete arch bridge and remained in service until its destruction in April 1945. After the war, the bridge was reconstructed in 1948 and has served as a key transport link since then.
The bridge displays a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk, honoring the patron saint of river crossings. Visitors can also see markings on the supports that record past flood levels from different years.
The bridge is freely accessible and provides pedestrians with safe paths to cross from one riverbank to the other. Visitors should note that vehicle traffic uses the bridge during peak hours.
When originally built, this structure was remarkable for its 50-meter concrete arch, as few comparable designs existed worldwide at that time. This technical achievement made it a pioneering example of bridge engineering in its era.
