    The Maxbrücke is an arch bridge over the Pegnitz in the old town of Nuremberg.
    The three-bay sandstone cuboid bridge has tracery panels made of cast iron and is considered to be the oldest stone bridge in the city.
    It connects the Unschlittplatz in the Lorenz old town south of the Pegnitz with the Nägeleinsplatz in the north of the Sebald old town.
    The building is located between the flea market island in the east and the Kettensteg in the west.

    The Max Bridge was built by the Rothenburg master builder Jakob Grimm and completed in 1457. At that time, it was called the Stone Bridge. Later, two gun turrets were added to defend the city against attacks from the river. In honor of the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph, the bridge was renamed Max Bridge in 1810. The square Auf dem Neuer Bau near the north side of the bridge received its current name, Maxplatz, at this time for the same reason.
