Neckar footbridge

The Neckar footbridge extends 158 meters across the Neckar River, connecting Stuttgart city center with the district of Bad Cannstatt through a wooden structure.

Architect Julius Natterer designed this pedestrian crossing, which opened on April 29, 1977, as part of Stuttgart's infrastructure development program for urban mobility.

The footbridge strengthens connections between neighborhoods by providing residents access to Wilhelma Zoological Gardens and Rosenstein Park throughout the year.

The structure includes a 4.5-meter-wide pathway suspended 6 meters above the water, accommodating both pedestrians and cyclists traveling between city districts.

Stainless steel cable mesh with 60-millimeter spacing covers 400 square meters of the bridge's surface, ensuring safety while maintaining visual transparency.
