Holbeinsteg
The Holbeinsteg is one of Frankfurt am Main’s most striking pedestrian bridges, linking the bustling city center with the cultural Museumsufer on the southern bank of the Main. Opened in 1990 and designed by architect Albert Speer Jr., the suspension bridge is instantly recognizable by its two blue pylons and red cables, which give it a modern, sculptural presence on the skyline. Named after the Renaissance painter Hans Holbein the Younger, the bridge reflects Frankfurt’s deep ties to art and culture while serving a practical role in urban life. Crossing the Holbeinsteg offers sweeping views of the river, the historic Städel Museum, and the city’s high-rise financial district, making it a favorite route for both locals and visitors. Unlike the older Eiserner Steg, the Holbeinsteg embodies late 20th-century design, symbolizing the city’s transformation into a modern European hub. Today, it is more than just a crossing point—it is a vantage spot, a photo opportunity, and a reminder of Frankfurt’s balance between tradition and innovation.
Frankfurt am Main GermanyHolbeinsteg is a pedestrian and cyclist suspension bridge crossing the River Main in central Frankfurt am Main, connecting the northern financial district with the southern Museumsufer. Completed in 1990 and designed by Albert Speer & Partner, the bridge is easily recognized by its slender deck suspended between two blue pylons linked by red cables. It provides one of the city’s best skyline viewpoints and a direct route between the Städel Museum, Liebieghaus, and German Film Museum on the south bank and the Main Tower, Willy-Brandt-Platz, and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof area on the north. The riverside promenades nearby invite scenic walks, and the bridge itself is especially striking at sunset when the skyline reflects in the river below, making it both a transportation link and a popular photo spot.
