Peißnitzbrücke, Steel footbridge in Halle (Saale), Germany.

The Peißnitzbrücke spans 103 meters across the Saale River with three openings, connecting Peißnitz Island to the Ziegelwiese area of Halle.

Construction of the bridge began in 1898 when the growing industrial city acquired Peißnitz Island to create a recreational space for residents.

The bridge serves as a connection point between the urban center and natural recreation areas, making it central to the daily life of Halle residents.

Pedestrians and cyclists can access both sides of the Saale River via this sturdy steel truss bridge, which features separate pathways underneath at both shores.

The bridge structure incorporates porphyry stone cladding on its pillars and abutments, while maintaining its original nineteenth-century riveted steel framework design.
