León-Brücke, Steel footbridge in HafenCity, Germany.

The León-Brücke extends from Dar-es-Salaam-Platz across the western end of Brooktor Harbor to Kaispeicher B, featuring a steel and wood railing system.

Initially opened as Museum Bridge in 2008, this structure received its current name in 2011 in recognition of Hamburg's partnership with León, Nicaragua.

The bridge connects pedestrians to the International Maritime Museum of Hamburg, housed in the adjacent Kaispeicher B building.

The structure spans 70 meters and incorporates a movable bearing at Kaispeicher to compensate for temperature variations and length changes.

The bridge includes an unsupported 25-degree bend, requiring a 1000-ton concrete foundation to anchor its 80-ton steel structure.

Location: Hamburg-Mitte

Inception: 2008
