The replacement of the Tauberbrücke bridge in Markelsheim receives the "Hohenlohe-Tauberfranken" building culture award.

As part of the regional building culture initiative "Hohenlohe-Tauberfranken", the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects, Stuttgart, together with the Ministry of State Development and Housing, is honoring  exemplary projects for good building culture They all stand for quality planning and building and demonstrate public welfare-oriented, courageous and exemplary solutions for Hohenlohe-Tauberfranken in order to meet the diverse local challenges.

The replacement of the Tauber bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge with two arches at the bottom, based on the existing structure. Compared to the existing structure, the arch supports will be dispensed with, also taking into account the flood discharge. The bridge fits into the environment without any visual changes. The design is a modern interpretation of the two arch bridges that previously existed at the site. The bridge is designed as an integral structure.
