Die Mainbrücke bei Frankfurt/M.-Griesheim im Baujahr 1934 1935

Directed by Johannes Fritze

The first bridge on the Reichsautobahn motorway network was built in 1934 during the construction of the Frankfurt am Main to Darmstadt section near Griesheim am Main. The film shows the construction work after six months of building: driving the sheet piles, installing the caissons using the pressure flushing method, and laying the supports for the steel superstructure.
