The pedestrian and cycle bridge connects two city districts: Nymphenburg and Westend.
Bridging the gap between art and mobility
- Located between the busy Hackerbrücke and Donnersbergerbrücke, it is the first independent cross-track pedestrian and cycle path connection off the main traffic routes in Munich
- The bridge also provides direct access to the “Donnersbergerbrücke” S-Bahn station.
- Steel Vierendeel bridge over three spans
- Together with the orthotropic walkway, the two longitudinal beams form a trough cross-section, which was installed on the north side outside the railway area and inserted over the entire railway system

“Together with the architects Lang Hugger Rampp, we have created a pedestrian bridge with experiential value, a public space that invites people to linger and has long since established itself as an integral part of the Munich cityscape”.
Peter Radl, Head of Road Infrastructure Department in Munich
