The Georgsbrücke in Meiningen over the Werra is considered to be the oldest surviving reinforced concrete bridge in Germany built according to the “Melan system”. The road bridge connects the city center with the West district and takes you from the southern part of the castle park to the Herrenberg landscape park. The engineer of the structure was the ducal chief building officer for water and road construction Eduard Fritze. The original name of the bridge was Herzog-Georg-Brücke, named after Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen.
The Georgsbrücke is a reinforced concrete arch bridge with a span of 40 m, a height of 3.70 m and a total length of 63 m. The width is 8.0 m with a carriageway of 4.60, flanked on both sides by 1.70 m wide footpaths. The arch construction consists of iron truss beams covered with concrete (“System Melan” after the Austrian civil engineer Joseph Melan). The railing was made from limestone beads in the historicist style.
To protect the bridge and because of the narrow road width, traffic is one-way on both sides with traffic lights. The George Bridge is a listed building.
