Bridge of Europe, Steel road bridge between Kehl, Germany and Strasbourg, France.
The Bridge of Europe extends across the Rhine River with a length of 245.4 meters, connecting the German and French territories at their border.
The current bridge structure, completed in 1960, replaced previous bridges that were destroyed during conflicts between France and Germany in the twentieth century.
The Bridge of Europe represents a physical connection between German and French communities, enabling daily interactions between residents of both nations through regular crossings.
Pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles can cross the bridge at any time, making it an essential transportation link between the border cities of Kehl and Strasbourg.
The structure marks the exact point where German territory transitions to French land, with different architectural elements reflecting each country's engineering traditions.

In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
