Theodor Heuss Bridge, Cable-stayed steel bridge in Golzheim, Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Theodor Heuss Bridge spans 1,271 meters across the Rhine River, featuring a main section of 260 meters supported by a network of steel cables.
Constructed between 1953 and 1957, this bridge became the first cable-stayed bridge in Germany, marking a new chapter in post-war infrastructure development.
The bridge bears the name of Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany, representing the nation's democratic renewal.
The 27-meter-wide structure accommodates six traffic lanes of Bundesstraße 7, connecting downtown Düsseldorf to Autobahn 52 while linking Golzheim and Niederkassel districts.
The bridge incorporates prestressed concrete and steel elements in its construction, with supporting cables arranged in a specific pattern that defines its engineering character.
