Nice bridge over the B3, with a snail on one side.

The Rut and Klaus Bahlsen Bridge is a 49-meter-long bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Hanover, located in the Eilenriede city forest, which connects the Kleefeld district with the Messeschnellweg (expressway) and the Zoo district. The bridge was inaugurated in 1989. It was financed with funds from the Rut and Klaus Bahlsen Foundation, founded by Klaus Bahlsen and Rut Bahlsen, which provided 500,000 DM for the project.

The name "Schneckenbrücke" (snail bridge) has stuck in popular parlance.

Due to the duration of the project, which annoyed Rut and Klaus Bahlsen, the symbol was the small bronze figure of a snail on the eastern bridgehead.

Done sweetly, why a snail was chosen as the motif is unfortunately not clear to me.
