Weidenhäuser Bridge (Marburg, Germany)

Highlight • Bridge

The Weidenhäuser Bridge is the oldest Lahn bridge in the central Hessian city of Marburg. The first stone bridge over the Lahn stood at this point as early as the middle of the 13th century. In the Middle Ages it was called the City Bridge or Long Bridge. Today's 4-span arch bridge made of sandstone dates from 1892. It connects the western old town with the eastern district of Weidenhausen and is still one of the most important traffic arteries in Marburg. Completely renovated in 2019.
