Augartenbrücke, Steel road bridge in Leopoldstadt, Austria

The Augartenbrücke spans across the Danube Canal, connecting the second district of Leopoldstadt with the ninth district of Vienna through four traffic lanes.

The structure, first built in 1873 by French company de Fives-Lille using Belgian iron, underwent reconstruction between 1929 and 1931 following Hubert Gessner's design.

The bridge location serves as the opening scene setting in Arthur Schnitzler's literary work La Ronde, adding to its significance in Viennese culture.

Located at coordinates 48.2189, 16.3703, the bridge provides essential connectivity for vehicles and pedestrians between Maria-Theresien-Strasse and Lower Augartenstrasse.

The Augartenbrücke holds distinction as the first bridge restored after World War II, reopening on January 12, 1946, following destruction during the Vienna Offensive.
