Kornhausbrücke

Kornhausbrücke is a concrete arch bridge crossing the Limmat River in central Zürich with clean lines and efficient structural design. The structure connects the eastern and western areas of the city center and serves as a key passage for pedestrians and vehicles daily.

The bridge was completed in 1929 and marked a milestone in Zürich's urban development and transportation infrastructure. The concrete construction was part of a modernization wave that shaped the city during this period.

The bridge links different parts of the city and lets people view the Limmat flowing beneath. It forms part of the everyday cityscape and shows how infrastructure crosses the river.

The bridge is easy to reach on foot and offers good views of the old town and the river. The best time to cross is in the morning or evening when it is less crowded.

The name comes from a former grain warehouse that once stood nearby and reflects the economic history of the location. This link to the past is not immediately visible today but remains part of local memory.
