Großhesseloher Brücke

The Großhesseloher Brücke spans 209 meters across the Isar River, connecting the districts of Pullach and Untergiesing-Harlaching with both railway and pedestrian levels.

Built between 1851 and 1857 under engineer Friedrich August von Pauli's design, the bridge underwent major reconstruction from 1983 to 1985 to accommodate modern transportation needs.

The bridge structure maintains its position as a meeting point for residents of different Munich districts, facilitating community connections through its dual transportation purposes.

The lower level of the bridge contains a wide pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, while the upper deck serves the Bavarian Oberland Railway transportation system.

In 1945, the bridge survived a planned demolition when a local citizen and a Wehrmacht soldier removed explosive charges meant to halt Allied forces' advance.
