Hackerbrücke, Steel bridge in Ludwigsvorstadt district, Munich, Germany

Hackerbrücke is a road bridge over the railway approach to Munich Central Station, built from riveted iron latticework. Six arched trusses, each with a span of 28.4 metres and a rise of nearly eight metres, rest on massive rectangular stone piers. A flat deck hangs from the arches, with a seven-metre roadway and footpaths outside the trusses.

The present bridge was built between 1890 and 1894, replacing an earlier structure from the 1870s at the same location. Its construction reflected the technical advances in iron bridge design during that era and was part of the infrastructure development around the new Central Station.

The bridge takes its name from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery, which operated its headquarters nearby for many years and shaped the neighborhood. Visitors can still sense this connection to Munich's brewing tradition when walking through the area.

The bridge carries a 7 m wide roadway with footpaths outside the trusses. The S-Bahn station Hackerbrücke lies beneath it and can only be reached from the bridge. During Oktoberfest the bridge is closed to cars in the evenings and at weekends.

The bridge is a popular spot for watching trains, offering good views of the platforms and activity at Central Station below. Especially in the evening, many people gather here to observe the station's movement and lights.
