Augartenbrücke, Steel road bridge in Leopoldstadt, Austria

The Augartenbrücke is a steel bridge that crosses the Danube Canal and connects Leopoldstadt with Vienna's ninth district. It carries four traffic lanes and joins Maria-Theresien-Strasse with Lower Augartenstrasse.

The bridge was built in 1873 using materials sourced internationally and became an established crossing over the canal. It was destroyed during World War II and then rebuilt, standing among the first bridges restored in Vienna after the war.

The bridge is used daily by locals and visitors crossing between two distinct neighborhoods. It holds a place in Viennese literary and urban history that people recognize when they pass through.

The bridge carries a one-way road towards the 2nd district, with a parallel return route over the Rossauer Brücke to the northwest. Trams run in both directions along the centre of the deck, and the U4 line passes beneath it between the Roßauer Lände and Schottenring stations. The stairway on the right-hand side down to the Flex club marks the northernmost point of the 1st district.

The bridge was destroyed in April 1945 by retreating German forces during the Vienna Offensive, not by bombing. It was the first Donaukanal bridge restored after the war, reopening on 12 January 1946. Arthur Schnitzler set the opening scene of La Ronde, between the Soldier and the Whore, on this bridge.
