View from Oberstrom, left bank, of the Maxau road and railway bridge near Karlsruhe. It is a temporary makeshift bridge made of steel (St. 37), built in 1947, 305 m long on piles (steel pipes), as a replacement for the Rhine bridge destroyed in 1945. You can clearly see the protective structures against the approach of ships in front of the pillars.
