Kabelsteg in München

The Kabelsteg spans 76.5 meters across the Isar River with a steel frame construction featuring curved lines and geometric patterns in its railings.

Architect Adolf Schwiening completed this steel bridge in 1898 during a period of infrastructure development connecting neighborhoods across the Isar River.

The bridge structure incorporates German Art Nouveau design elements, reflecting late 19th-century architectural preferences through its metal framework and decorative details.

The bridge provides a direct pedestrian route between Au-Haidhausen district and Praterinsel, accessible via Isartor S-Bahn station or tram lines 16 and 17.

The central arch of the bridge extends 37 meters without support, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of late 19th-century German construction methods.
