Oberkasseler Brücke, Steel cable-stayed bridge in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Oberkasseler Brücke is a concrete cable-stayed bridge spanning 614 meters across the Rhine with a main tower rising 104 meters. The double-deck structure carries multiple layers of traffic simultaneously, creating a practical design for crossing the river.
The original bridge opened in 1898, connecting Düsseldorf to Oberkassel until it was destroyed in 1945 during World War II. The current structure was rebuilt after the war and later repositioned to serve the city's evolving needs.
It links the eastern riverbank with the western side of the city, serving as a meeting point where people from different neighborhoods cross paths daily. The bridge has become a natural gathering space where locals and visitors experience the connection between Düsseldorf's districts.
Pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and trams can all cross using clearly separated lanes for each mode of transport. The crossing is free and available at all times, regardless of weather or season.
In 1976, the entire structure weighing 12,500 tons was moved 47.5 meters downstream to its current location using hydraulic technology. This remarkable engineering feat allowed the bridge to be repositioned without being completely rebuilt.
