Slinky springs to fame, Pedestrian bridge in Oberhausen, Germany.
The Slinky Springs to Fame bridge extends 406 meters across the Rhine-Herne Canal, featuring 496 aluminum arches with a diameter of five meters each point.
The bridge, completed in 2011, connects the Kaisergarten area to the Emscher Island and was inspired by the spiral toy invented by Richard James in 1945.
Frankfurt artist Tobias Rehberger designed this architectural structure as a public art installation, combining functional infrastructure with contemporary artistic expression.
The bridge contains 293 integrated lights within its aluminum spirals and features a walking surface decorated with 16 different color tones.
The structure resembles a giant version of a slinky toy, with its spiral formations wrapping around the entire length of the pedestrian crossing.
