Benno-Ohnesorg-Brücke, Concrete bridge in Linden-Limmer, Germany
Description
The Benno-Ohnesorg Bridge crosses the Ihme River, linking Calenberger Neustadt with Linden-Mitte through a modern concrete structure with curved side forms. The construction spans approximately 67 meters and serves pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation routes.
History
The original bridge was built as a wooden structure in 1493 and later rebuilt in stone and steel through successive renovations. The current form resulted from a major reconstruction that took place between 2008 and 2013.
Culture
The bridge carries the name of Benno Ohnesorg, a student from Hannover who became a symbol of political upheaval in the 1960s. His name, given to this structure in 1992, connects the crossing to a moment in history that shaped the city's memory.
Practical
The bridge connects several key roads and welcomes all types of users from walkers to cyclists and buses. It is freely accessible at any time and requires no special permits or tickets.
Did you know?
During the recent reconstruction, engineers moved the entire load-bearing structure to the eastern riverbank to create a wider design. This shift allowed the bridge to accommodate modern traffic needs while reshaping how the river corridor functions.
