The spatial cross section is derived from a cropped ellipse and creates an exciting perspective; At the same time, it easily meets the functional constraints of a generous width of the walking area with an appropriate interior height.

The attraction of the bridge is the mobility, the rotating function of a complete glass tube. The bridge thus enriches the existing diversity of other bridge types both technically and creatively. The total length of the bridge is 103.4 m, eastern bridge section: 18.1 m, swing bridge (centre section): 40.9 m, western footbridge: 44.4 m.


The load-bearing glazed steel structure is supported by a few steel supports in the fixed part of the bridge, as it can bridge a large span as a rigid beam; the few support points underline the effect of a light bridge.

Competition partner and general planner was WTM Engineers GmbH, Berlin.
