Built entirely of stone between 1135 and 1146 at the latest, the Stone Bridge is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture and the oldest surviving bridge in Germany. It served as a model for many later bridges, including the Charles Bridge in Prague. For centuries, the bridge was the only permanent bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Vienna and played a central role in medieval long-distance trade. Its importance contributed significantly to Regensburg's UNESCO World Heritage status. The Stone Bridge is, alongside Regensburg Cathedral, the most important landmark and structure in Regensburg. The Bridge Man (Brückenmännchen) was a well-known symbol of the Stone Bridge from a very early stage, and its popularity has remained unchanged to this day. A visit to the Stone Bridge in Regensburg is highly recommended – for history buffs as well as architecture and city lovers. The bridge not only offers a fascinating insight into medieval engineering, but also a magnificent view of the Danube, Regensburg Cathedral, and the Old Town.

You have to experience it. Monumental building, you'll be amazed and have a great view!👍 It's worth a detour! A monumental building that, in my opinion, is in exactly the right place! It impressed me 20 years ago and the effect occurs again and again. If you have the opportunity, you should take a detour and visit the Hall of Fame.

Great to reach by bike! There are signs at the end of the path saying “get off”, but it’s all doable when it’s not very busy! 👍

Here Ludwig I (and more recently the Bavarian government) tried to define what 'German' is with names and, in exceptional cases, events. The result is an interesting and sometimes almost bizarre collection. Especially when you compare who is standing next to each other and to what extent these people have a connection to Germany as it is understood today, you get food for thought.
