Bitterfelder Bogen, Steel footbridge in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany.
The steel arch bridge extends 81 meters in length and rises 28 meters above the Bitterfelder Berg, incorporating observation platforms along its walkways.
Constructed between 2005 and 2006, the bridge marks the transformation of Bitterfeld-Wolfen from a lignite mining area into a recreational landscape.
Frankfurt sculptor Claus Bury designed this architectural structure to represent a mining excavator bucket, reflecting the industrial heritage of the region.
Visitors can reach the highest observation deck at 21 meters by walking a total distance of 540 meters through a series of ascending ramps.
The bridge structure has become part of the city logo and offers views of Goitzsche Lake from multiple viewing terraces at different elevations.
