Tips
The main bridge was built between 1909 and 1913 and the opening ceremony took place on August 23, 1913. The new bridge replaced the old wooden Drava Bridge, which until then stood a few dozen meters west of the current bridge and was later demolished. The construction of the new bridge was due to the increase in road traffic along the Triester Straße in the direction of Vienna-Trieste. The bridge was built according to the plans of the Viennese architect and town planner Eugen Fassbender (1854-1923). The design of the bridge is based on the older railway bridge over the Drava (1864-1866), which lies to the east of it.
