Passerelle Mimram, Cable-stayed footbridge over Rhine River between Kehl, Germany and Strasbourg, France.
The Passerelle Mimram is a cable-stayed steel footbridge that spans the Rhine River between Kehl and Strasbourg. It stretches approximately 387 meters in length with a central section that rises 36 meters above the water, designed exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists.
The footbridge opened in 2004 and represented a new phase of cross-border cooperation between France and Germany. Its construction marked a shift from physical division to active connection between the two nations.
The footbridge serves as a social meeting point where residents and visitors naturally cross between the two nations. It has become a place where French and German communities naturally interact and share the border space.
The crossing is freely accessible at any time for pedestrians and cyclists without restrictions. Both riverbanks offer clear access points with easy connections to the main paths and roads of each city.
The central platform provides an unexpected gathering area where visitors can pause and view both Kehl and Strasbourg simultaneously. This space is often overlooked despite offering a singular vantage point across both cities.
