Eric-Warburg-Brücke

The Eric-Warburg Bridge spans across the Trave River, connecting the districts of St. Gertrud and St. Lorenz-North in Lübeck with a length of 37.5 meters.

The bridge planning started in the 19th century under Lübeck Building Director Peter Rehder, but construction only completed in March 2008 after four years of work.

Named after Hamburg banker Eric M. Warburg, who worked with the International Red Cross Committee to protect Lübeck from additional bombing during World War II.

The bridge opens four times daily from April to October at 9:30, 12:30, 17:00, and 19:30, while winter openings require two hours advance notice.

The structure features a main passage with 6 meters clearance at medium water level and a secondary passage with 7 meters clearance for maritime traffic.
