The Nibelungen bridge spans the Danube river from the Hauptplatz (main square) was at that time Linz's version of Checkpoint Charlie. The Nibelungenbrücke with the two bridge head buildings is the only architectural plan Hitler ever carried out in Linz.

Following the Nibelungenbrücke Bridge, you’ll see the famous Hauptplatz in the centre of which the Dreifaltigkeitssäule, the Trinity Column, was erected in 1723 by the States of Upper Austria to thank God for having preserved Linz from three consecutive perils: the 1704 Turkish invasion, the 1712 fire and the 1713 plague. On the other side of the bridge you can see the Ars Electronica Center
