Zoobrücke, Steel road bridge in Cologne, Germany
The Zoobrücke spans across the Rhine River, connecting multiple districts of Cologne through its robust steel construction and modern engineering design.
Built between 1966 and 1967 under the direction of architect Gerd Lohmer, the bridge represented a significant advancement in post-war infrastructure development.
The bridge received the Kölner Architekturpreis in 1967, marking its contribution to Cologne's architectural evolution during the mid-twentieth century.
As part of Bundesstraße 55a, the bridge serves thousands of vehicles daily, linking the districts of Deutz, Neustadt-Nord, and Mülheim.
The structure combines functional engineering with architectural elements that reflect the industrial design principles of 1960s German construction methods.
