Rudi-Geil-Bridge

The Rudi Geil Bridge is a bridge over the Lahn River in Lahnstein. The road bridge, first erected in 1873, connects the two districts of Nieder- and Oberlahnstein. It is named after the Lahnstein politician Rudi Geil.
A first permanent road bridge was built in 1873 over the Lahn to connect the then still independent places of Ober- and Niederlahnstein. This was replaced in 1927 by a concrete bridge. After its destruction in World War II, the bridge was rebuilt in 1946/1947 as an iron arch bridge. The aging bridge was closed to heavy traffic in 1992 and had to be replaced by a new construction in 1997. The Lahnstein city council decided on February 14, 2008, to name the bridge after the Lahnstein politician Rudi Geil.
