Schleibrücke Kappeln

The Schleibrücke spans 207.5 meters across the Schlei River with four traffic lanes, a pedestrian path, and a dedicated cycling lane.

The current bridge, inaugurated on December 2, 2002, replaced a rotating bridge from 1927, following earlier structures including an 1867 pontoon bridge.

The bridge creates regular gatherings of boats and people during opening times, forming a meeting point for maritime and land traffic.

The bridge opens hourly from 5:45 AM to 9:45 PM in summer and 7:45 AM to 5:45 PM in winter, with each operation lasting up to 15 minutes.

The bridge structure includes six openings with a clearance width of 27.50 meters and a height of 3.5 meters when closed.
