Drahtbrücke in Kassel, Steel suspension bridge in Kassel, Germany.
The Drahtbrücke spans 84 meters across the Fulda River with two main cables of 60 millimeters in diameter supported by 7-meter-high pylons.
Originally constructed in 1870 to replace a ferry service, the bridge underwent major renovation in 1940 following damage from ice masses.
The bridge connected the historical district to the new lower section of Kassel until 1896, when pedestrians paid 3 pfennigs to cross.
The structure serves as a connection point for pedestrians and cyclists between the Auedamm and Unterneustadt districts of Kassel.
The bridge foundation incorporates wooden piles beneath concrete pylons, with cables anchored in the upper section of the abutments.
