Krugkoppelbrücke, Road bridge in Hamburg, Germany

The Krugkoppelbrücke is a 72-metre road bridge spanning the Alster between Harvestehude and Winterhude, built in 1927–1928 to designs by Fritz Schumacher and Gustav Leo. It rests on three fixed basket-handle arches of reinforced concrete, faced with clinker ceramics and terracotta showing vine tendrils and two-tailed sea creatures.

A first permanent wooden bridge was built here in 1891 to plans by Franz Andreas Meyer, one of Hamburg's last timber bridges. The present 72-metre structure dates from 1927–1928 and was designed by Fritz Schumacher with Gustav Leo, using three fixed elliptical-arch vaults of reinforced concrete. It was restored from January 2018 to November 2019 for about 5 million euros, with 41,000 bricks fired anew.

The bridge is probably named after the "Krug Koppel" inn built on the western Alster bank in the 16th century; the name was also used for a path, mentioned in a Hamburg newspaper advertisement of 7 October 1833. Each direction has its own landing stage for Alster steamers.

The bridge carries the Krugkoppel road between Harvestehude and Winterhude, with a landing stage for Alster steamers on each side of the crossing. It is open to cars, bicycles and pedestrians; in 2013 it handled about 13,000 vehicles per weekday, roughly one percent of them heavy traffic.
