Hagen Bridge (Serbian: Хагенов мост, Hagenov most) was a pontoon bridge on the Danube river in Novi Sad, current day Vojvodina, Serbia. The bridge was opened for traffic in 1788. Until 11 November 1883, with the construction of the Emperor Franz Joseph Bridge, this was the only permanent bridge in Novi Sad that crossed the Danube river, only briefly destroyed during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. It was removed in 1918 for the construction of the Prince Tomislav Bridge.[1][2]
