Straßenbrücke Straße der Jugend, Road bridge and heritage monument in Löbau, Germany.

The Brücke der Jugend is a rubble-stone arch bridge over the Seltenrein valley in Löbau, built with a reinforced-concrete core and stone facing. It carries a central traffic axis of the city and shows monumental and Jugendstil influences. Four FDJ relief sculptures are set into the bridge.

Built from 20 September 1926 as the Hindenburgbrücke, the bridge was inaugurated a year later in the presence of Saxon finance minister Weber. Two of its three arches were blown up on the night of 7–8 May 1945. The VEB Bau-Union Süd rebuilt it in 1950/51 with heavy involvement of the Freie Deutsche Jugend, which gave the bridge its present name in 1981.

The bridge's name changed with the city's politics: dedicated in 1927 as Hindenburgbrücke after Reich President Paul von Hindenburg, it was renamed Brücke der Jugend in 1981 for the Free German Youth (FDJ), whose members took a major part in the 1950/51 rebuild. Four FDJ relief sculptures are still set into the stonework.

The bridge remains in active use year-round for both vehicles and pedestrians. Visitors should be aware that it continues to carry regular traffic and functions as a working road.

Four relief sculptures made by the Free German Youth (FDJ) are set into the bridge structure and can still be seen today. They date from the 1950/51 reconstruction, which the FDJ carried out largely itself and which gave the bridge its present name in 1981.
