Reste des Kettenstegs

The granite block pylons of the former Kettensteg bridge stand near Bräugasse 13, marking the location of a historical Danube crossing point.

Built in 1869 as a suspension footbridge over the Danube River, the Kettensteg connected Passau's old town with Ilzstadt until its removal in 1910.

The remnants received protection status from the Bavarian Monument Authority under identification number D-2-62-000-34, preserving the architectural heritage of Passau.

Visitors can observe the original bridge foundations near the Ilz estuary, where steel cables were once anchored to the hillside above Veste Niederhaus.

The bridge structure included two main cables measuring 27 centimeters in diameter, constructed from 1,996 individual wires of 3.41 millimeters thickness.
