Stone Bridge Regensburg

Location: Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany
Culture: German
Era: Medieval
Site Description: Along with the Regensburg Cathedral, the Stone Bridge is the most prominent landmark of the city of Regensburg and is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The mighty Stone Bridge stretches over the northern and southern arm of the Danube as well as the two Wöhrd islands. The Stone Bridge was used for crossing the Danube and quickly became a vital traffic artery as the river's only crossing between the great centers of Ulm and Vienna; indeed, for more than 800 years it served as the sole Danube-spanning bridge in Regensburg, the town located at the river's northernmost point and thus a central junction between northern France and much of the rest of Europe.
