Kohlfurther Bridge, Steel footbridge between Solingen and Wuppertal, Germany
The Kohlfurther Bridge spans 34.7 meters across the Wupper river with its semi-parabolic design constructed from crucible steel and riveted connections.
Built in 1893 by Morlan & Wilms company, the steel structure replaced a stone bridge from 1714, which had succeeded an original wooden crossing from 1363.
The bridge represents a prime example of North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial engineering, earning recognition as an architectural heritage monument in both Wuppertal and Solingen.
Following extensive restoration in 2010, the 8-meter-wide structure now serves as a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists connecting the two municipalities.
The bridge features two parallel truss beams divided by eleven vertical poles, resting on natural stone supports that stretch diagonally across the riverbed.
