Max-Joseph Bridge

The Max-Joseph Bridge spans 138 meters across the Isar River with a main arch extending 45.9 meters between the districts of Lehel and Bogenhausen.

Architect Theodor Fischer designed this stone bridge in 1902 to replace a wooden structure that floods had destroyed in 1804.

Four stone sculptures on the bridge depict natural elements through figures representing air, water, fire, and earth, created by different German artists.

The bridge connects the eastern districts to central Munich while carrying vehicle traffic and pedestrians across the Isar River near the Maximilianeum.

The bridge structure emerged unaffected through World War II, maintaining its original Art Nouveau details and architectural elements from 1902.
