The Ignatz-Bubis-Brücke (until 2000 Obermainbrücke) is a road bridge in Frankfurt am Main. It connects the Obermainanlage in the city centre district with Dreieichstraße in Sachsenhausen at Main kilometre 36.0. It is 183.75 metres long and 15.20 metres wide. Federal Highway 3, tram line 18 and the Ebbelwei-Express run over the bridge. In December 2000, the bridge was named after the chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Ignatz Bubis, who died in 1999. Various bridge construction projects have been discussed in Frankfurt since the middle of the 19th century in order to relieve pressure on the very narrow Old Bridge, which dates back to the Middle Ages. After the annexation of the Free City of Frankfurt by Prussia in 1866, the Iron Footbridge was initially built downstream of the Old Bridge as a pedestrian bridge, followed by the Lower Main Bridge from 1872 to 1874. The necessity and construction of an upstream bridge, on the other hand, was long disputed by the municipal committees. It was not until 1875 that the decision was made to build another bridge, the Obermainbrücke.
