    The Museum Bridge (Museumsbrücke) is one of the bridges over the Pegnitz River in the historical center of Nuremberg. The Museum Bridge is historical. Initially, the site of today's bridge was believed to be the oldest bridge in Nuremberg across the Pegnitz River - a wooden bridge that was documented in the 13th century. There are two Baroque-style pulpit structures with wrought-iron railings on the Museum Bridge: in honor of Emperor Leopold I and King Joseph I. In addition, the monuments are decorated with medallions, there are also coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia, Nuremberg and Nuremberg dignitaries (members of the city government). From the Museum Bridge, on both sides (east and west), there are views of the Pegnitz River and rows of buildings that come close to the waters of the river. The Museum Bridge is located in the old city of Nuremberg and connects two Nuremberg districts that are sides of the old city: Sebald and Lorenz, including Plobenhofstrasse and Königstrasse. The Museum Bridge is part of the path that leads from Market Square (Hauptmarkt) to Lorenz Square (Lorenzplatz), where the Church of St. Lawrence (Kirche St. Lorenz) is located.

    Museumbrucke (Museum Bridge) is the oldest recorded bridge crossing the Pegnitz River in Nuremburg. It is located just to the east of Fleischbrucke and is a sandstone arch bridge, linking St. Lorenz and St. Sebald along Königstrasse. Historically, Museumsbrücke was first built near the late 15th-century, replacing earlier wooden bridges which were repeated damaged or destroyed by floods. In 1700, it was rebuilt with two stone arch openings. The bridge also features two attractive Baroque stile structures with wrought-iron grilles above the centre pillar, adding an attractive element of Museumbrucke that makes it worth spending a few minutes to enjoy while sightseeing around the historic centre of Nuremburg.

    We came across the bridge after passing St. Lorenz Church and just following the road. The bridge was quite interesting with plaques that were gated. There was a plaque on both sides of the bridge with different views. One side had the other bridge and a house with a riverside garden on the other. It was a nice bridge to walk over.

    There are a few other bridges in the historical center of Nuremberg. This one crosses the Pegnitz River. You can spot several docks nearby. A wooden bridge from the 13th century was documented here. Several times, the bridge was destroyed by floods and by bombs during II World War. It was all restored in 1954. You can spot in the eastern direction - historical building - Hospital of the Holy Spirit / Heilig Geist Spital. West part - you can spot Fleischbrücke. The end of January on Sunday afternoon- not very busy.

    A bridge has existed here for centuries (back to the 1300s) though it has been rebuilt many times. The latest version was built in 1954 to replace was was virtually destroyed during the bombings of World War II, but as with many of the post-WWII rebuilds in Germany, it was designed to fit in with the surrounding architecture, so it appears to be much older. Vendors will set up their carts along the bridge to sell souvenirs, but it is also a nice place for a few quick picturesque photos.

    Nice middle age bridge, well mantained. There are ducks playing in the water below. ...but both sides are full with commercial tents selling chinese trinkets so you cannot get a full picture.

    Nürnberg Museum Bridge is like stepping into a time machine right in the heart of the city. You got those classic Old Town views ,the red-roofed houses giving off major fairy tale vibes. So, you're sauntering on these charming cobblestones. It's this awesome mix of old-school charm and modern flair. The bridge isn't just about the view .It's a whole vibe. The Pegnitz River below adds to the chill atmosphere, making it THE spot to soak in Nuremberg's unique energy. But, cig butts on the floor are a bit of a bummer. Not the freshest scent, it takes away a tad from the overall cool experience. Still surrounded by museums with art, history, and cool stuff, Nürnberg Museum Bridge is where it's at. Like a chill hangout spot where you catch local vibes and live the city's story. No love locks, but this bridge is a laid-back canvas of stories and vibes, inviting you to catch those lively feels of Nuremberg's rad mix of past and present. 4/5 – would vibe again, just watch your step! 🌟
