Baldwin Bridge

The medieval stone bridge over the Moselle, named for Archbishop Baldwin of Trier who began it in 1342. It is the oldest surviving Rhine-region bridge and one of the few in Germany never to have been demolished.

Eight pointed-arch spans cross the river to the Lützel quarter on the far side. The Wehrmacht blew up the third arch in March 1945; it was rebuilt in 1949 in a slightly different style and the join is still visible. The walk over the bridge is the best way to see the Koblenz waterfront from the Moselle side.
