Brücke am Wasserfall

The Brücke am Wasserfall spans 232.5 meters across the Old Elbe River, connecting Cracau district with Rotehornpark on the Great Werder island.

Following a one-year construction period, the bridge opened to public traffic on December 1, 1997, enhancing connectivity between eastern and western Magdeburg.

The pathway leading to the bridge received the name Torsten-Lamprecht-Weg in 2013, commemorating a local resident who died near this location in 1992.

The bridge structure incorporates a 37.5-meter concrete approach span and a 195-meter main section supported by steel cables from a 35-meter tall pylon.

The bridge combines glued laminated timber main girders made from larch wood with steel cross-frames, creating a distinctive engineering solution.
