      The Lombardsbrücke is a road and railway bridge over the Alster in Hamburg.

      It marks the old course of the city fortifications that separated the Outer Alster from the Inner Alster. The bridge was named after the pawn shop known as the Lombard, which stood here in 1651 on part of the Hamburg ramparts, the "Bastion Didericus". The originally wooden bridge, last replaced in 1827-1828 by a new building designed by Wimmel, was replaced in 1865 by a stone construction designed by Johann Hermann Maack during the construction of the connecting railway from Hamburg to Altona.

      The 69-metre-long bridge spans the Alster between the Inner and Outer Alster in three arches. As early as 1902, it became necessary to widen it from 32 to 48 metres. Four cast-iron four-armed candelabras with five glass balls designed by Carl Börner adorn the bridge and form a characteristic Hamburg photo motif.

      The railway traffic runs parallel to the four-lane road and connects Hamburg-Dammtor with Hamburg Central Station. Two tracks are used by the Hamburg S-Bahn. To relieve the bridge, the parallel Neue Lombardsbrücke was built in 1953 and has been called the Kennedybrücke since 1963.
