The Ahr bridge in Rech, a local church in the district of Ahrweiler (Rhineland-Palatinate), is a stone arch bridge over the Ahr, which was the only preserved during the flood of 1910. It is a protected cultural monument. On the front of the pedestal on which the statue stands, the following inscription is engraved: "From evil tongue and danger of water / St. Nepomuk always preserves us."

The approximately 43-meter long, up to five-meter-high bridge made of quarry stone has four flat arches and a masonry parapet. It was built in the first half of the 18th century and today connects the town center with the main road 266. The original stone statue of St. 18th century Nepomuk, which stood on the parapet, was toppled and destroyed in 1919 by American occupation forces. A new figure was donated in 1920 by the Eifelverein.

The St. Nepomuk quarry stone bridge was built in 1764. In addition to the left and right abutments, it has 3 central pillars on the respective Ahrufer. The natural stone masonry consists of greywacke and greywacke slate, which was extracted in the local environment, probably in the Mayschoss quarry.
The bridge was extensively renovated from June 2008 to December 2008. The total cost at that time was 934,000 euros. Source and other interesting information can be found here: kreis-ahrweiler.de/kvar/VT/hjb2012/hjb2012.44.pdf
