Walter Lübcke Bridge

Walter Lübcke Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Kassel, Germany.

The Walter Lübcke Bridge is a footbridge in Kassel that crosses the Fulda River and connects the districts of Mitte and Unterneustadt. It provides a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists with modern design.

The bridge opened in 2000 as the Karl-Branner-Brücke, named after a former mayor of Kassel whose NS ties made the name contested. After a 2013 debate and a 2015 decision to keep the name with an information plaque, the plaque was removed in June 2019. In May 2021 the city announced the renaming, carried out on 22 June 2021.

The bridge's name recalls Walter Lübcke, the Kassel regional president murdered by a right-wing extremist in 2019; it was adopted in June 2021 after residents proposed it during the debate over Karl Branner's Nazi ties. A few metres northeast hangs Kazuo Katase's light artwork Blue Dancer above the Fulda, installed in 2003.

The bridge is accessible daily for pedestrians and cyclists with ground-level access that is convenient for everyone. Visitors should know it is best explored on foot or by bicycle.

A few metres northeast of the bridge, the light artwork Blue Dancer by Japanese artist Kazuo Katase has hung over the Fulda since 2003. It is separate from the bridge itself, so look for it above the water rather than on the deck.
