The Nepomuk Bridge (also Rezat Bridge ) is a stone and arch bridge that crosses the Swabian Rezat in Pleinfeld , a market in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia . The building is registered under the monument number D-5-77-161-45 as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list. It is the only river crossing within Pleinfeld that is accessible by car.
The Nepomuk Bridge was built over a ford in the east of the Pleinfeld town center at a height of 372 meters above sea level . The Brückenstraße running over the bridge is an eastward extension of the Pleinfeld market square . The structure has a length of 33 meters.
The bridge, made of sandstone blocks , dates back to 1695 and was built during the economic boom of the town after the Thirty Years' War . After the bridge was attempted to be blown up on April 22, 1945, it was badly damaged and was renewed in 1949. The bridge figure of St. John Nepomuk , who gave the bridge its name, in the middle of the bridge on the south side, dates from the 18th century. There is a metal cross on the opposite side . The bridge was renovated in 1995 and from March to the end of May 2017. Until 1995 there was a hollow in front of the bridge in order to divert the water of the Swabian Rezat during floods.
The Arbach flows into the Swabian Rezat near the bridge .
