Iron Bridge (Eiserner Steg)

The Iron Bridge, or Eiserner Steg, has been a prominent feature of Frankfurt’s skyline since 1869, standing as a testament to the city’s industrial era. Spanning the Main River, this steel structure connects the Old Town and Römerberg Square on the north bank with Old Sachsenhausen and the Museum Embankment on the south. As the only footbridge across the river, it offers pedestrians a vital link between these historic and cultural hubs. Today, visitors can walk across its sturdy frame, enjoying views of the river and the city’s architectural blend of old and new.
