Herdbrücke, Road bridge and architectural heritage monument between Neu-Ulm and Ulm, Germany
The Herdbrücke spans across the Danube River with a single arch measuring 55 meters in length and 16 meters in width.
Built between 1947 and 1949 according to plans by Willy Stöhr, the bridge replaced an earlier structure destroyed during World War II.
The bridge serves as a physical connection between two distinct administrative regions: Bavaria on the Neu-Ulm side and Baden-Württemberg on the Ulm side.
Three parallel hollow box girders made of prestressed concrete support the reinforced concrete deck that carries vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
The bridge underwent a substantial renovation in 2016 costing 790,000 euros to extend its service life by approximately 25 years.
