Hörn Bridge, Steel footbridge in Kiel, Germany.
The Hörn Bridge extends 256 meters across the Kiel Fjord, featuring three segments that fold using hydraulic motors to allow ships passage underneath.
The bridge, completed in 1997 for 16 million Deutsche Mark, initially faced technical issues that led locals to call it the 'Works-not Bridge'.
The bridge connects the main railway station to the inner harbor, integrating maritime infrastructure with daily pedestrian transit needs of Kiel residents.
The structure opens approximately 11 times daily during summer and 9 times in winter, with each opening cycle taking 2 minutes for vessels to pass.
Two cables on each side support the deck through mast portals, while hinged joints at the base minimize wind exposure during operation.
