Deutz Suspension Bridge, Road bridge in Altstadt-Nord, Germany
The Deutz Suspension Bridge extends 437 meters across the Rhine River, featuring a central span of 184 meters constructed with prestressed concrete techniques.
Fritz Leonhardt and Gert Lohmer designed this bridge as a replacement for the previous structure that collapsed during repair works in February 1945.
The bridge earned recognition through the Kölner Architekturpreis award in 1967, marking its contribution to German engineering and architectural excellence.
The structure connects Altstadt-Nord with Deutz district, accommodating vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists while providing direct access to central Cologne.
This bridge represents the first implementation of specific prestressed concrete techniques in Germany, establishing new standards for bridge construction methods.
