TheEiserner Steg (Iron Footbridge) is a footbridge spanning the riverMain in the city ofFrankfurt,Germany, which connects the centre of Frankfurt with the district ofSachsenhausen.
The firstwrought iron bridge was built in 1868.[1][2] It was replaced in 1911/1912 by a slightly largercantilever bridge.[3] It is 170 metres long and consists of riveted steel trusses with two bridge piers. The bridge was blown up by theWehrmacht in the final days ofWorld War II, but it was rebuilt shortly afterwards in 1946. It was fully renovated in 1993.[4]
