Golden Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Hofgarten, Düsseldorf, Germany
The Golden Bridge spans across the Düssel River in Hofgarten Park, featuring steel beams resting on masonry bridge heads and decorated wooden planks.
Built in 1809 and redesigned in 1845 by architect Anton Schnitzler, the Golden Bridge received its name from the gold-bronze color applied to its railings in 1820.
The bridge connects two sections of the English-style landscape garden, crossing a 900-meter baroque visual axis between Jägerhof Palace and St Andreas.
Following extensive renovations from 2015 to 2016, the bridge received new oak wood planks, restored steel components, and updated historical bridge lanterns.
The oldest pedestrian bridge in Düsseldorf features partially gilded steel carriers, with gold leaf applied through a five-step process for enhanced protection.
