Afrabrücke
A modern arch over the Lech
Did you know?
The Afrabrücke, initially rebuilt with prestressed concrete after World War II, had to be demolished and replaced again in 1990/91, highlighting its surprisingly short lifespan.
Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle rush of the river below? That's the Lech, flowing right under your feet, a vital artery running through Augsburg. Look to your left and you'll notice the river's smooth curves meandering through the landscape. Right here, on the Afrabrücke, you can truly feel the bridge between nature and the city. Did you know that this bridge is much more than just a connection between two districts? It's a testament to resilience and constant change. If you glance west, you might catch a glimpse of St. Andreas Church's spire peeking above the rooftops. Nearby, there's the Waterworks at Hochablass, another marvel of engineering that defines this city. Take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and soak up the panoramic view—it's something special here.
