Wilhelm-Kaisen-Brücke, Road bridge in Bremen, Germany
Description
The Wilhelm-Kaisen-Brücke is a road bridge in Bremen that crosses the Weser River and connects the districts of Mitte and Neustadt. It features separate lanes for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, and accommodates multiple tram and bus lines.
History
A crossing at this location dates back to 1244 and played a role in the development of Bremen's ports. The current bridge was completed in 1960.
Culture
The bridge is named after Wilhelm Kaisen, who rebuilt Bremen as mayor after World War II. His name symbolizes the city's recovery and development.
Practical
The bridge features distinctive abutment shapes and is used by multiple public transport lines with stops at Teerhof. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross it easily.
Did you know?
During construction starting in 1959, engineers had to keep traffic moving on the old bridge while building the new concrete structure underneath. This allowed the crossing to stay open throughout the entire rebuild process.
