“This bridge looks so modern, don’t you think?” The Rudolf-von-Habsburg-Brücke, completed in 1971, indeed showcases a sleek and contemporary design. This bridge, spanning the majestic Rhine, connects Germersheim to Philippsburg, becoming a vital artery for the B35 highway. The Rudolf-von-Habsburg-Brücke stretches an impressive 605 meters. It boasts four lanes of bustling traffic, ensuring a smooth flow for commuters. But it’s not just about cars – pedestrians can enjoy their own dedicated walkways on either side, taking in the scenic river views. This bridge, a testament to modern engineering, replaced an earlier structure. The dedication to Rudolf von Habsburg adds a layer of historical significance. He, after all, was the one who bestowed Germersheim with its town privileges back in 1276. His legacy lives on in this modern marvel.
