The Zollbrücke is a bridge over the Zollelbe in the Werder district of Magdeburg.
It represents the eastern extension of the Neue Strombrücke, over which the historic and still important eastern arterial road from Magdeburg's old town runs. A little further east of the customs bridge is the Anna-Ebert Bridge, which bridges the Old Elbe.
A first bridge over the Zollelbe has existed at this point since 1828. However, there have been bridges over the Elbe and its frequently changing tributaries in this area for centuries.
Construction work on the construction of today's three-arched bridge began in 1879 and was completed in 1882. It was built solidly from bricks in cement mortar and faced with sandstone blocks. The total length is 43.6 meters, with pillar thicknesses between 3 and 3.3 meters, the clear widths of the arches are 10, 17.50 and 10 meters. The bridge width between the parapets is 13.54 meters.

Devices were integrated into the bridge, which were intended to enable detonation in the event of war.

The bridge was decorated with four allegorical figures created by Emil Hundrieser, representing shipping, trade, industry and agriculture. The balustrade is also a work by Hundrieser. The coats of arms of the Hanseatic cities of Magdeburg, Hamburg and Brandenburg (Havel) and the city of Altona were attached to the outside of the bridge piers on the north side, and those of the cities of Leipzig, Dresden and Prague and the Hanseatic city of Berlin on the south side.
The keystones used on the front sides show Mercury and Kilian in the middle, and naiads on the sides. The figures originally erected on the bridge were largely weathered after more than 100 years and had to be removed. In 2006/2007, new figures were created based on old templates, which have found a place on the bridge again.
