Eisbachbrücke, Arch bridge in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany.
The Eisbachbrücke is an arch bridge spanning the Eisbach in the Altstadt-Lehel district, supporting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It connects both sides of Prinzregentenstraße and displays the classical arch form typical of Munich's historical bridge construction.
The bridge was built in 1890 during a period of rapid growth in Munich in the late 19th century. It represents the engineering techniques of that era, which contributed to the modernization and expansion of the city's infrastructure.
The bridge takes its name from the Eisbach, a small stream flowing through the heart of Munich and shaping the character of the neighborhood. Visitors notice how this waterway influences daily life in the area and holds a special place in the local landscape.
The best way to see the bridge is a simple walk across Prinzregentenstraße, where it is clearly visible. The surroundings are easy to explore and offer different viewpoints for observing it from both the bridge and the riverbank.
A short walk downstream lies a famous river wave where surfers train year-round. This unusual use of urban water shows how the Eisbach is known locally and internationally for its special character.
