Oberkasseler Brücke

The double-deck Oberkasseler Brücke spans 614 meters across the Rhine River, featuring a main tower reaching 104 meters in height.

The first bridge at this location opened in 1898, connecting Düsseldorf with Oberkassel until German forces destroyed it during World War II in 1945.

The bridge links the eastern bank Tonhalle concert hall district with the western Luegallee area, forming a central connection point for the city districts.

Pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and trams can cross the Rhine using this bridge, which serves as part of the Düsseldorf public transportation network.

Engineers moved the entire 12,500-ton bridge structure 47.5 meters downstream to its current position in 1976 using hydraulic technology.
