history
The city architect Reinhard Baumeister already had plans for the construction of a second Neckar bridge. The municipal government master builder and civil engineering inspector Ludwig "Louis" Heuss (1853-1903) also showed the model of a Neckar bridge with two river arches, each 34 m wide, and an underpass of Badstrasse with 10 m at the Heilbronn trade exhibition in 1897. The engineer Willy Stöhr (1905–1997) from the Heilbronn civil engineering department designed a new reinforced concrete bridge between 1937 and 1938, which consisted of a three-hinged arch. The spans were 13 m and 16 m in the peripheral fields and 60 m in the main field. It had a span of 9 m over the Neckar. The structure was 130 m long and 22 m wide. The lane width was 12 m, the cycle paths were each 1.75 m wide. The sidewalks were 3.25 m wide. The designs for the bridge construction were submitted for approval in February 1938, the bridge built by Wayss & Freytag was opened on August 12, 1939. When the Wehrmacht withdrew in 1945, the bridge was blown up. In 1950 it was rebuilt according to plans by Willy Stöhr and inaugurated on December 15, 1950.
