Historical Age: The bridge was built around 1877 (twelve years after the harbor opened) and is today considered one of the oldest still preserved swing bridges in all of Germany. For this reason, the steel truss construction is an important cultural monument under strict heritage protection. Technical Dimensions & Function: The structure has a length of 37.50 meters, a width of 4.50 meters, and weighs around 54 tons. The original mechanical rotation mechanism ensured for decades that the bridge could be swung to the side at any water level to allow larger ships to pass into the harbor basin. Modernization: After the historical rotation mechanism was irreparably damaged and jammed in 1996, the bridge was fundamentally reconstructed in 2009. The historical appearance of the top chords was preserved, while the outdated mechanics were replaced by a state-of-the-art hydraulic rotation system. Location & Significance: It connects the Stresemann-Ufer (Old Town side near the Hyatt Hotel) directly with the Victor-Hugo-Ufer on the upstream mole. Today, it serves exclusively as an important, highly frequented connection for pedestrians and cyclists and is an integral part of recreational routes such as the popular Mainzer Drei-Brücken-Weg.

The early Gothic parish church of St. Christopher on Karmeliterplatz was built between 1292 and 1325. It was almost completely destroyed during the heavy bombing raids on Mainz in 1942 and 1945. In 1963/64, the ruins were converted into a Mainz memorial and a chapel. St. Christopher features a late Gothic baptismal font. Johannes Gutenberg is said to have been baptized in it. The modern relief between the concrete supports is by the sculptor Heinz Hemrich. Since 2025, a reconstruction of the spire has crowned the memorial.
