Eiserner Steg, Historic footbridge over the Danube in Regensburg, Germany.

The Eiserner Steg spans 114 meters across the Danube River, connecting the old town of Regensburg with the island of Oberer Wöhrd.

Originally constructed as a military LZ Bridge during World War II, the structure was transformed into a pedestrian crossing in 1948.

The bridge received recognition as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, reflecting the engineering methods of post-war reconstruction.

Located at coordinates 49.02233 latitude and 12.09106 longitude, the bridge provides direct access between downtown Regensburg and northern neighborhoods.

The steel truss design of Eiserner Steg demonstrates the adaptation of military infrastructure for civilian use in post-war Germany.
