Schanzl Bridge

The Schanzl Bridge extends 149 meters across the Danube River, featuring a 20-meter-wide deck that accommodates multiple traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.

Construction of the bridge began in 1968, with the steel middle section installed in February 1970, leading to its official opening in October of that year.

The construction required the demolition of Eggendobl Castle's church and defensive walls, marking a transition from historical structures to modern infrastructure.

The bridge handles approximately 30,400 vehicles daily, serving as a primary connection point in Passau with a clearance height of 7.70 meters above water level.

Regular structural inspections require specialized equipment and temporary closures of parking areas beneath the southern section of the bridge.
