Brückentürme der Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke

The two identical stone towers rise 32 meters high at the Ruhrort end of the Friedrich-Ebert Bridge across the Rhine River in Duisburg.

Built between 1904 and 1907, the towers served as toll collection points for crossing vehicles until the original bridge was destroyed during World War II.

The northern and southern towers contained residential spaces for bridge employees, with shops at ground level and a restaurant in the southern structure.

Both towers underwent complete renovation in 2009 and now function as commercial spaces with offices, storage areas, and parking facilities.

The towers remain as the sole survivors of the original bridge structure, while their two smaller counterparts on the Homberg side were demolished during reconstruction.
