The Augustusbrücke (Augustus Bridge) is the oldest and most iconic bridge crossing the Elbe in Dresden, connecting the Altstadt's Schlossplatz with the Neustadt's Neustädter Markt. The current stone bridge, rebuilt in 1910, follows the alignment of the medieval original from 1287.
The first wooden bridge here was documented in 1173. A stone bridge replaced it in 1287 and survived until 1907. The current bridge was completed in 1910 and partially demolished by retreating German forces in 1945, then rebuilt by 1949.
