Maximilian Bridge

The 138-meter-long Maximilian Bridge spans across the Isar River, connecting Munich's Lehel district with concrete and limestone construction materials.

Built in 1905 under architects Friedrich von Thiersch and Arnold Zenetti, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure destroyed by flooding in 1804.

Four sculptures along the bridge represent natural elements through allegorical figures created by artists Heinrich Düll, Georg Pezold, Max Heilmaier, and Eugen Mayer-Fassold.

The bridge serves both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, extending Maximilianstraße westward and connecting different sections of Munich through its dual-part structure.

The bridge's central span measures 45.87 meters, incorporating Art Nouveau design elements while maintaining its original structural integrity throughout World War II.
