Bahnhofsbrücke Warnemünde

The Bahnhofsbrücke spans 42 meters across the Alter Strom waterway, featuring a steel structure with oak planking and a width of 7.10 meters.

Built in 1903, this swing bridge operated until 1940, allowing ships to pass through by rotating 90 degrees on its central pivot point.

The structure stands as an architectural heritage monument in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, representing early 20th-century German engineering and maritime infrastructure.

The bridge connects Warnemünde station to the town center, serving over 20,000 pedestrians during peak season with its 29.5-meter main span.

Weighing 80 tons, this manually operated bridge received a new cast iron kingpin between 2004 and 2005 after a passenger ship collision damaged the original mechanism.
