The old Harburger Elbbrücke was opened on 30 September 1899. The 474 m long steel arch bridge built at that time for road vehicles was the first road bridge over the Süderelbe and today only serves pedestrians and cyclists. The sandstone portals are designed by Hubert Stier and are intended to commemorate the city gates with the Wilhelmsburger and Harburg coats of arms. They used to be decorated with the imperial eagle.

In April 1897, MAN was commissioned with the construction of the bridge, which is due to a corresponding contract between the province of Hanover and Hamburg. The management for the construction of the old Harburger Elbbrücke had the electricity audio director Georg Narten. Until the early 1970s, it also served the tram between Hamburg and Harburg, the former location of the rails can be guessed to this day by the arrangement of the pavement in the southern feeder road. Between 1980 and 1995, the bridge was fundamentally restored, this accounted for the sideways cantilever footpath.

Furthermore, it offers a wonderful view of the Süderelbe towards the harbor.

The Elbe Bridge was opened 120 years ago, until 50 years ago the tram from Hamburg to Harburg crossed this bridge. To the right and left of it there were still footpaths that were removed during a restoration.

On the old Elbe bridge, you can walk across the river Elbe without any traffic and enjoy a beautiful view over the Norderelbe.
