Buckelbrücke Duisburg, Footbridge in Duisburg-Mitte, Germany.

The Buckelbrücke is a footbridge spanning the Inner Harbor in Duisburg, linking a memorial area with the harbor promenade to the north. The structure uses 14 movable concrete sections that can be raised and lowered through steel cables attached to four tall pylons.

Stuttgart professor Jörg Schlaich designed the bridge, and the Duisburg steel firm Raulf built it in 1999. Its hydraulic lifting mechanism let ships pass beneath the deck. From 2009 the bridge could no longer be raised because its hydraulic cylinders were defective and replacement was deemed too costly. In 2023, during renovation, the cylinders and old cables were removed and replaced with continuous cables, ending lifting for good.

This footbridge connects a memorial plaza with the harbor promenade, serving as a physical link between the city's reflection spaces and its waterfront leisure areas. Walkers crossing it experience how it brings together places for remembrance with the active harbor district.

The bridge is open to pedestrians and cyclists and links the Garten der Erinnerung at Yitzhak-Rabin-Platz with the northern harbor promenade and Marina Duisburg. Since 2023 the hydraulic cylinders have been removed, so the deck no longer lifts; crossing takes only a moment. The walkway is 79 metres long and 3.5 metres wide, with the hump rising 1.10 metres above street level.

The bridge's hump rises only 1.10 metres above street level in its resting state, but the tensioning mechanism could lift the deck to 10.60 metres above normal water level. The hydraulic winch was operated from the Schwanentorbrücke. Since 2023 the old cables have been replaced by continuous new ones, so the lifting is no longer possible.
