Friedenheimer Brücke, Road bridge in Munich, Germany.
Friedenheimer Brücke is a road bridge in western Munich that crosses multiple railway tracks of the main rail line and carries vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. The structure connects neighborhoods across this important transportation corridor.
The bridge was completed in 1901 and arose during Munich's industrial expansion to meet the city's growing transportation needs. It has shaped the development of the western neighborhoods ever since.
The bridge is named after Friedenheim, a former estate in Laim near where Friedenheimer Straße meets Landsberger Straße; the name is not Neufriedenheim. Below the bridge is the Hirschgarten S-Bahn stop, opened on 13 December 2009 and named after the nearby park.
The bridge links Neuhausen to the north with Laim to the south, meeting Landsberger Straße at its southern end and continuing north as Wilhelm-Hale-Straße toward Arnulfstraße. The S-Bahn Hirschgarten stop, opened on 13 December 2009, lies directly beneath the bridge.
The bridge crosses the rail line where Hitler, after 1933, planned a new Munich Hauptbahnhof; Hermann Giesler proposed a 136-metre-high, 265-metre-wide dome in 1938, shelved when the war began. Below the bridge, the Hirschgarten S-Bahn stop opened on 13 December 2009.
