Zollenbrücke

The Zollenbrücke stretches 25 meters across the Nikolaifleet waterway, featuring three arches constructed from sandstone blocks and nineteenth-century iron railings.

Built between 1631 and 1633, the bridge received its name from a nearby customs house that collected transit fees for the Schauenburg administration.

The bridge displays a large carved Hamburg coat of arms on its stone pillar, representing the architectural and municipal traditions of the Hanseatic period.

Since 1953, the Zollenbrücke serves exclusively as a pedestrian passage, connecting the streets Brodschrangen and Bei der alten Börse to Grimm.

The structure stands as Hamburg's oldest surviving bridge and received heritage monument protection status in 1954, preserving its historical sandstone architecture.
