A really beautiful bridge that you should definitely cross. The view of the old town and the Elbe is fabulous!

The first mention was made in 1287. Later under August the Strong, the bridge was rebuilt in the Baroque style between 1727 and 1731 and rebuilt in its current form between 1907 and 1910. It was destroyed in World War II, but rebuilt.

The Augustusbrücke is a road bridge over the Elbe in Dresden and connects the historic cores of the old town and the new town, which was the independent city of Altendresden until the 16th century. It was originally the largest bridge construction in the German High Middle Ages and one of the largest medieval transport structures in Europe. In the Dresden Baroque, the bridge was fundamentally redesigned by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, another followed from 1905–1910 by Hermann Klette and Wilhelm Kreis. From 1949 to 1990 it was called the Georgij Dimitroff Bridge. The high medieval (original) part of the bridge with a length of about 150 meters on the Old Town side was preserved under Georgentor and Schloßplatz due to burial and overbuilding from 1519 and is still only partially archaeologically accessible today. The same applies to several archways of the right Elbe: in this way, it is the oldest (physically) verifiable evidence of the founding history of Dresden and which is archaeologically verifiable before the first mention of Dresden.
