The Iron Bridge (Eiserner Steg) connects the city centre on the northern banks of the Main River with the district of Sachsenhausen on the southern banks of the Main. The neo-Gothic-style bridge, built in 1869, is already well over one hundred years old.

The Iron Bridge (Eiserner Steg) is a landmark pedestrain bridge crossing the River Main in Frankfurt. Historically, it seems there have been wrought iron bridges at this location since 1868. The two-pier, 170-metre long bridge constructed here in 1911-12 was destroyed during WWII and rebuilt in 1946, last renovated in 1993.

Frankfurt has many bridges, but this is not just any bridge. For more than 100 years, the Eiserne Steg has spanned the River Main to take pedestrians from "Hibb de Bach to Dribb de Bach", i.e. from the old town over to Sachsenhausen.

Der Eiserne Steg, mittlerweile eines der bekanntesten Baudenkmäler Frankfurts, wurde zwar im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört, doch ein Jahr nach Kriegsende wiedererrichtet.

Frankfurt hat viele Brücken, aber diese ist nicht einfach irgendeine. Seit mehr als 100 Jahren überspannt der Eiserne Steg den Main, um Fußgänger von „Hibb de Bach nach Dribb de Bach" zu bringen, also von der Altstadt hinüber nach Sachsenhausen.
