Hohe Brücke, Vienna, Road bridge in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria

The Hohe Brücke spans across the Tiefer Graben, connecting two sections of Wipplingerstraße through a steel and stone construction in central Vienna.

Architect Josef Hackhofer designed this infrastructure project, which was built between 1903 and 1904 during Vienna's period of urban modernization.

The bridge holds protected monument status as a Denkmalgeschütztes Objekt, representing early 20th-century engineering methods in Austrian infrastructure development.

Located at coordinates 48.2128 latitude and 16.3686 longitude, the bridge serves both pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the city center.

A local lottery advertisement made the bridge known through the slogan 'Über die Hohe Brücke führt der Weg zum Glücke' meaning 'across the bridge leads the path to luck.'
