The Ruhrbrücke Hattingen , also Ruhrbrücke Bochumer Strasse , is a road bridge over the Ruhr in Hattingen , North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It connects the Hattingen core city with the Winz-Baak district to the north of the river and crosses state road 651 and a stepped section of federal road 51 , as well as tram line 308 of the Bochum city railway .

The first Ruhr bridge was mentioned in a document on June 30, 1319. It was built for Count Adolf II von der Mark, it had eight arches and four gate towers to defend the bridges. It was largely destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The bridge was restored in the middle of the 17th century.

The bridge with pillars from 1875 and a steel girder superstructure from 1937 was used until mid-2002. From August to September 2002 it was removed from north to south.

The current bridge was built from 1998 to June 2002. It consists of two arched box girders lying next to each other - one for the tram, one for the street. The span is 68 m, the total length 233.5 m.
