This railway bridge spans 125 metres over the Main – and offers pedestrians a dream panorama of the skyline.
From the Deutschherrnbrücke, the Frankfurt skyline looks like a theatre backdrop. The steel railway bridge has spanned the River Main between Sachsenhausen and Ostend for over 100 years. Pedestrians cross it on a footbridge next to the railway tracks - and enjoy one of the most beautiful Mainhattan panoramas in the city. The Main Tower and a dozen or so other skyscrapers are grouped around the Commerzbank Tower, the tallest building in the country at 259 metres.
However, it is worth keeping your eyes as well as your ears open on the bridge: "Sonic Vista" is the name of the acoustic artwork by Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger, which transforms the sound of the city into sound art using a red and a blue spherical loudspeaker. It sounds powerful and impressive - and is therefore a good introduction to another spectacular Frankfurt giant: The European Central Bank building is located right next to the harbour park, just a few minutes away from the bridge.
