From Wikitravel
The 'Theodor-Heuss-Bridge' in the centre of Mainz. Connects the city with Mainz-Kastel on the other side of the Rhine river.
This is one of three Rhine bridges that connect Mainz with Wiesbaden and the state of Hesse. As almost all other German Rhine bridges, it had been destroyed in World War II. The bridge was rebuilt in the early 1950s and named after the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Theodor Heuss.
The bridge connects Mainz with Mainz-Kastel on the other side of the river. Kastel, a former Mainz suburb as several other villages on the right side of the Rhine, has been separated from the city after the war, as the Rhine was established as the border between the French and American occupation sectors. Until today, Kastel, Kostheim, Amoeneburg, Ginsheim, Gustavsburg and the other former suburbs consider themselves part of Mainz, although they are administered by Wiesbaden and Hesse.
