The Museumsbrücke is, then as now, an important connection between the Lorenz and Sebalder parts of the city. No other bridge in Nuremberg has had so many names in its history, but none of them caught on. For example, the river crossing was sometimes named Barfusserbrücke, Josephsbrücke, Königsbrücke, Obere Brücke or Plobenhofbrücke. The bridge received its current name in the 19th century from the Gesellschaft Museum, a social and reading society whose meeting place was built in 1809 on the site of the former Franciscan monastery (now Königstraße 1).

The Museum Bridge is an important connection between the Lorenz and Sebald halves of the city. The former "Barfüßerbrücke", named after the Franciscan monastery, was built in 1484 as a wooden bridge on two stone arches by master builder Hans Müllner from Regensburg. It later fell victim to the flood of 1590 and was replaced in 1603 by a wooden but paved temporary structure. The stone structure with its pulpit-like projections was completed in 1700. However, the Pegnitz Bridge was much narrower at that time.
