Köhlbrandbrücke

  Köhlbrandbrücke rises majestically over the Hamburg harbor, connecting the districts of Wilhelmsburg and HafenCity. Completed in 1974, this cable-stayed bridge spans 3,600 meters and stands 53 meters high, making it a vital transport link for road traffic and a remarkable engineering feat. The bridge provides incredible views of the bustling port activities below, and in August, visitors can catch the Hamburg Cruise Days, where cruise ships gather for a spectacular maritime festival. As you walk or drive across, you’ll see various vessels maneuvering in the Elbe River, showcasing Hamburg's maritime heritage. Don't miss the chance to appreciate the blend of functionality and design that Köhlbrandbrücke represents in this vibrant city.
