Arnulfsteg, Footbridge in Maxvorstadt and Schwanthalerhöhe districts, Munich, Germany

The Arnulfsteg, renamed Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Brücke in January 2026, is a steel trough bridge about 240 m long that carries pedestrians and cyclists over the railway tracks to Munich's main station at a height of nearly 7 m. The trough rests on four reinforced concrete piers, and its outer walls are Vierendeel girders with rectangular glazed openings that bring the view of the tracks closer toward the middle. The deck widens from 5.0 m at the centre to 6.3 m at the ends.

The bridge opened in 2020, closing a gap in the city's walking and cycling network that had existed for many years. Before it was built, people living in the nearby neighborhoods had to take long detours to cross the railway lines.

The bridge is named after Edith Haberland-Wagner, the brewery heiress and benefactor; until January 2026 it was called Arnulfsteg, after Generaloberst Arnulf von Bayern, as are the park and street on the north side. Its two roughly 240-metre LED light bands won the German Lighting Design Prize in 2022.

Access is via glass lifts on both the south side (Philipp-Loewenfeld-Straße) and the north side (Erika-Mann-Straße). Cyclists reach the deck on the south side by a long loop running parallel to the tracks, and on the north side by a spiral ramp. The two S-Bahn platforms below are reached only by a narrow staircase of more than 40 steps with two landings.

The bridge won the 2022 German Lighting Design Prize for its exterior and public-area lighting. Two roughly 240-metre bands of energy-saving LEDs run along the structure, so the crossing is lit as a line across the tracks at night.
