Großhesseloher Brücke, Double-decker bridge in Pullach, Germany

Description

The Großhesseloher Brücke is a double-decker structure spanning over 200 meters across the Isar, connecting Pullach and Untergiesing-Harlaching on both sides. The framework is built from steel trusses, with the lower level reserved for pedestrians and bicycles while the upper level carries trains of the Bavarian Oberland Railway.

History

The structure was built between 1851 and 1857 under engineer Friedrich August von Pauli as a technical solution for crossing the river. A comprehensive renovation from 1983 to 1985 secured its usability for modern traffic and preserved the load-bearing framework.

Culture

The bridge serves residents from both sides as a daily meeting point and connecting route between different city districts. Pedestrians and cyclists regularly use it to link their neighborhoods and cross the Isar.

Practical

Pedestrians and cyclists use the lower level, while the upper level is reserved for train traffic. Access is available from both riverbanks and the pathways are generally easy to walk on.

Did you know?

In 1945, a local resident and a Wehrmacht soldier discovered explosives placed on the bridge to slow the Allied advance. They removed the charges together, saving the structure from destruction.
