The Sternbrücke Rödelheim is a stone road bridge from the early 19th century over the now silted Ochsengraben. It connects the districts of Rödelheim and Bockenheim in the city of Frankfurt am Main in the German state of Hesse . On the bridge, the Rödelheimer Landstrasse crosses in an east-west direction a former flood retention basin (“flood basin ”) of the Nidda River on the eastern edge of Rödelheim. The Sternbrücke is a monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
The Rödelheimer Sternbrücke was built from 1803 to 1807 instead of the previous building, a medieval wooden bridge. The bridge was named after the neighboring restaurant Zum Stern . The arched bridge , made of red Main sandstone and quarry stone masonry in baroque forms, stands on six massive pillars, the seven bridge arches have the shape of barrel vaults .
The road that leads over the Sternbrücke today is two-lane and has a footpath and a bicycle path on each side. The bus line 34 of the Frankfurter Verkehrsgesellschaft VgF , which runs across the bridge, stops a few meters east of it at the Sternbrücke stop . A line of the Frankfurt tram also crossed the Sternbrücke until the 1970s . A section of the circular bicycle path leads under the bridge in Frankfurt's green belt , which connects the Biegwald to the south with the Bockenheim industrial estate to the north .
