Schleibrücke Kappeln, Bascule road bridge in Kappeln, Germany.
Schleibrücke Kappeln is a road bridge spanning 207.5 meters across the Schlei River with four traffic lanes, a pedestrian path, and a cycling lane. The structure uses a bascule system to allow boats to pass through when needed.
The current bridge was inaugurated on December 2, 2002, replacing a rotating bridge from 1927. An earlier pontoon bridge from 1867 had previously stood at this location.
The bridge creates regular gathering moments during opening times when boats and people converge, serving as a meeting point between maritime and land traffic. Visitors can watch how the rhythm shifts between vehicle and boat movements throughout the day.
The bridge opens at set times to allow boats to pass through. It helps to check opening times in advance if you plan to visit the area with larger boats.
The bridge features six openings with a clearance width of 27.50 meters and a height of 3.5 meters when closed. These precise dimensions allow different types of boats to pass safely.
