Brücke am Wasserfall, Cable-stayed footbridge in Magdeburg, Germany

The Brücke am Wasserfall is a cable-stayed footbridge that crosses the Old Elbe River and joins Magdeburg with the island containing Rotehornpark. Steel cables descend from a central pylon to support the structure, while the main deck combines wood and steel in its construction.

The footbridge was constructed in 1996 and opened to the public in early December 1997. The project improved connections between eastern and western areas of Magdeburg.

On 9 May 1992, 23-year-old Torsten Lamprecht was killed near the bridge site in an attack by about 50 neo-Nazis on a party of young leftists and punks. Plans to name the bridge after him were not carried out; instead, in 2013 the approach path was named Torsten-Lamprecht-Weg.

The bridge serves as a popular walking and cycling route between two important city areas. The best time to cross is during fair weather, when views of the river and surroundings are clearest.

The bridge was to be named after Torsten Lamprecht, a 23-year-old killed nearby on 9 May 1992 in an attack by 50 neo-Nazis on a party of young leftists and punks. Instead, in 2013 the approach path was named Torsten-Lamprecht-Weg.
