Cremon bridge, Demolished pedestrian bridge in Hamburg-Altstadt, Germany

The Cremon Bridge was a steel footbridge over Willy-Brandt-Straße in Hamburg-Altstadt, linking Hopfenmarkt with Holzbrücke and Deichstraße. It had a sail-like pylon and hexagonal staircases, and was demolished in October 2021.

The bridge was donated by the Bundesbank, whose building stood south of the then Ost-West-Straße, and was inaugurated in 1982. Designed by PSP Architekten (Pysall, Stahrenberg & Partner) as a steel Sprengwerk, it was demolished in October 2021 after the 2019 decision citing maintenance-intensive escalators and space for new buildings.

The bridge was named after the former Elbe island of Cremon, not after any wine; the name preserves a piece of Hamburg's old topography. Its sail-like pylon and hexagonal staircases made it a recognisable feature of the Altstadt until its demolition in October 2021.

The bridge no longer exists: it was demolished in October 2021, so there is nothing left to cross on foot. Its former site lies in the extension of Kleiner Burstah, between Hopfenmarkt and Holzbrücke/Deichstraße, in Hamburg-Altstadt. Pedestrians crossing the busy Willy-Brandt-Straße there now have to use traffic lights.

The name comes from the former Elbe island of Cremon, not from any wine. The bridge was donated by the Bundesbank, whose building stood south of the then Ost-West-Straße, and it was one of the few crossings of that busy road where pedestrians needed no traffic light.
