Suspension Bridges Crossing Neckar River
This is a list of all 9 bridges from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Neckar River. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together.

- Bombed multiple times during WWII and finaly destroyed March 25, 1945.
- Replaced 1891 Friedrichsbrücke - Mannheim, Germany. Translated from the linked Wikipedia page, "Due to the constant increase in traffic, it became necessary to expand the Friedrichsbrücke. Instead of an expensive new building, an engineering balancing act was decided: between 1938 and 1940, the bridge was cut lengthwise, pushed two meters apart, filled in the middle and further structurally adapted. With a lane width of 13.5 m, a total of four lanes including tram tracks could be created."
