Futuristic bridge in the harbour |
Köhlbrandtbrücke Hamburg, Hamburg 21107 +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information fur touristen) |
This steel suspension bridge, built in 1973-74, is an integral part of the city's landscape today. Almost 4km long, this architectural masterpiece is one of Europe's longest bridges, and certainly one of its most elegant. It was the first connection between the eastern and western parts of the harbour. 1700 large poles support the four lanes of traffic, and 88 iron cables hold the middle part of the bridge. Underneath it, ships can travel through the Köhlbrandt, an artificial basin over 300m wide. The view of the port from here is breathtaking. Pedestrians are not allowed on Köhlbrandt bridge.
