The Friedensbrücke, originally called the Luitpoldbrücke, is a central Main bridge in the city area. It connects the old town of Würzburg on the right bank of the Main with the district of Zellerau on the left bank of the Main. A four-lane road, the route of tram lines 2 and 4 and a footpath and cycle path on both outer sides lead over the bridge.
The bridge was built between 1886 and 1887 according to plans by Joseph Scherpf and is thus the second oldest bridge over the Main in Würzburg after the Old Main Bridge. The last keystone was placed on October 1, 1887. With the 200-meter-long bridge, the new ring road (today Röntgenring) could be continued to the suburb of Zellerau on the left bank of the Main. On April 27, 1888, it was inaugurated as the Luitpoldbrücke, named after Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. On September 30th, the bridge was opened to traffic with a carriageway width of 10.10 meters. In 1900, the first tram ran over the structure.
Shortly before the end of the Second World War, on April 2nd, 1945 at around 5.15 p.m., the bridge was the last of the three Main bridges that existed in the area of Würzburg's old town to be blown up by German troops in order to delay the Americans' capture of the city. After the three destroyed arches were rebuilt, the bridge was reopened to traffic in November 1948 as the Peace Bridge.
