This one in Wurzburg connects the old town with the rest of the city, as it crosses the river Main. The first version was finished in 1543, and statues of important figures - like saints and Charlemagne were added along the way.
You can guess what happened. It was blown up in World War II. But the citizens rebuilt it, and in 1992 they closed off traffic. Now it's a tourist magnet and a great spot for locals to meet.
If you keep going off the bridge, you'll hit a cathedral that has been there for about a century. The Cathedral is considered one of the masterpieces of German architecture.
