Facts and practical information

Werther Bridge is a road bridge with two lanes built in 1903 over the Wupper River in the Barmen district of Wuppertal. As part of the street Heidter Berg, it connects the left, southern riverbank of the Wupper with the Barmer Werth between the Wupper and the Barmer Mühlengraben. The road then crosses Höhne/Berliner Straße to the north and continues beyond this intersection as Bachstraße. The bridge is a one-way street, northbound. The bridge is in the immediate vicinity of the Werther Brücke suspension railway station named after it.

Werther Bridge is a single-segment iron truss bridge with two distinctive flat arches separating the roadway from the sidewalks. The railing, which is also iron, features stylized depictions of waves, birds and plants.
