The Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) in Regensburg, Germany, is a 12th-century bridge across the Danube linking the Old Town with Stadtamhof. For more than 800 years, until the 1930s, it remained the city's only bridge across the river. It is a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city.
