Maximilian Bridge
Maximilian Bridge, Road bridge in Lehel district, Munich, Germany
Description
Maximilian Bridge is a road arch spanning the Isar River, connecting Munich's Lehel district with other parts of the city and built from concrete and limestone. The structure stretches about 138 meters and carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the river.
History
The bridge was built in 1905 following designs by architects Friedrich von Thiersch and Arnold Zenetti. It replaced an earlier wooden structure that had been destroyed by flooding in 1804.
Culture
Four sculptures along the bridge depict natural forces through allegorical figures created by Heinrich Düll, Georg Pezold, Max Heilmaier, and Eugen Mayer-Fassold. They give the bridge its artistic character and reflect the creative vision of early 20th-century sculpture.
Practical
The bridge is open to vehicles and pedestrians daily and connects to Maximilianstraße. Visitors can walk across at any time and enjoy views from various points along the structure.
Did you know?
The bridge's central span measures about 46 meters and displays Art Nouveau features in its architectural design. Despite World War II, the structure retained its original form throughout the decades.
