The Weidenhäuser Bridge is the oldest Lahn bridge in the central Hessian city of Marburg. The first stone bridge over the Lahn stood at this point as early as the middle of the 13th century. In the Middle Ages it was called the City Bridge or Long Bridge. Today's 4-span arch bridge made of sandstone dates from 1892. It connects the western old town with the eastern district of Weidenhausen and is still one of the most important traffic arteries in Marburg. Completely renovated in 2019.

For me, the Weidenhäuser Bridge is one of the most beautiful spots in Marburg when you hike along the Lahn and see the castle from afar against the backdrop of historic half-timbered houses. crazy beautiful

The old, beautiful and well-renovated Weidenhausen Bridge is a very important connection between the Weidenhausen district and the old town. From the "Ufercafe" you have a great view of the bridge and the "Old University".
