April 26, 2026, Hindenburg Bridge

The Hindenburgbrücke was an important railway bridge over the Rhine, connecting Rüdesheim am Rhein with Bingen am Rhein (Kempten district). It was built between 1913 and 1915 and solemnly opened in August 1915 during World War I. With a total length of over a kilometer, it was an imposing technical structure that primarily served to close the strategically important railway connection between the Ruhr area and the Saarland and to relieve the Rhine routes. The structure was designed for double tracks and featured combined steel and stone arch constructions. A distinctive feature were the widely visible, castle-like bridge towers at the ends, which were architecturally adapted to the castles of the region. During World War II, the bridge became a strategic target and was finally blown up by German troops in March 1945 to stop the advance of the US Army; additional air raids almost completely destroyed the remaining parts. After the war, the Hindenburgbrücke – unlike many other bridges – was not rebuilt, as transport routes had changed and the priority lay with other Rhine crossings. Today, only the striking stone approach bridges and the bridge towers remain as "silent witnesses" on the Rhine bank and on the island of Rüdesheimer Aue. These ruins are listed as historical monuments and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, with the remaining piers in the shipping channel being blown up in the 1960s for navigational safety reasons.
