Reesendammbrücke

The Reesendammbrücke spans across the Kleine Alster, connecting the districts of Neustadt and Altstadt while supporting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Built between 1843 and 1844, the bridge was named after Heinrich Reese, a 13th-century miller who operated a grain mill at this location.

The bridge forms part of Hamburg's extensive network of over 2,496 bridges, representing the city's engineering heritage and urban development through centuries.

The Reesendammbrücke integrates multiple transportation systems, with the Jungfernstieg underground station beneath its southern section and an S-Bahn line above.

The bridge underwent significant modifications in 1934 to accommodate the construction of Hamburg's first underground terminus station, the Kelljunglinie.
