You're standing on the Friedensbrücke, a vital link across the Main River. This bridge was constructed between 1950 and 1951, replacing the former Wilhelmsbrücke. As you look south, you can see the impressive bronze sculpture 'The Dockworker' by Constantin Meunier. It serves as a reminder of the hard labor once carried out along the riverbank. Take a moment to feel the bridge's connection between the past and present. The Main flows beneath you, uniting the city districts on either side of the river.
