Döblinger Steg, Historical footbridge in Brigittenau, Austria
Döblinger Steg is a steel footbridge that crosses the Danube Canal and connects the districts of Brigittenau and Döbling with its characteristic truss pattern. The structure carries pedestrians and also holds water supply pipes and gas lines across the water.
The bridge was built in 1910 and is now protected as a historical monument. It was rebuilt in 1947 after damage during World War II and has maintained its original form since then.
The bridge displays typical features of early 1900s Viennese industrial architecture, visible in its steel structure and functional design. Today, visitors notice how it is more than just a crossing - it is part of the visible network of infrastructure that connects and sustains the city.
The bridge can be reached from Heiligenstädter Straße on the Brigittenau side and from Klosterneuburger Straße on the Döbling side. Tram stops are located on both sides and provide good connections to the rest of the city.
Few visitors realize that the bridge carries thousands of liters of water daily flowing through pipes beneath their feet. This hidden water supply system makes it one of the busiest bridges in the city, even though it appears as a quiet pedestrian path.
