It is made of Neckar sandstone and was built in the 18th century by Elector Karl Theodor: the famous Old Bridge. It is one of the last great examples of classic bridge building in stone. It connects the old town with the banks of the Neckar at the eastern end of the Neuenheim district. The predecessors of today's Old Bridge were made of wood. Since they were repeatedly destroyed by wars and floods, Elector Karl Theodor had a stone bridge across the river build (1786-1788).

Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. The combination of romantically wooded hills that run along the Neckar, the beautiful old town with its winding streets, the castle and the Old Bridge and the traditional university make the city so unique.
