Tips

  • The Innsteg (officially Hindenburgbrücke, ugs Fünferlsteg) is a pedestrian bridge over the Inn in Passau. It connects since 1916 the Innstadt on the height of the church pc. Severin with the opposite side of the Inn on height university / Nikolakloster. From there you have a great view of the historic old town.
    The Innsteg is popularly known as the "Fünferlsteg" because of the bridge toll of 1976, which was initially charged at 5 pfennigs.
    Construction and opening
    Until the final building permit and the start of construction for the 170 meter long and 2.50 meter wide iron structure with two pillars and two abutments passed another two years. The cost had meanwhile risen to 180,000 marks. The war-related shortage of electricity, materials and personnel led to further delays, so that only on 2 October 1915, the release for pedestrians took place. In the two days before, citizens could test the transfer for a special fee of 20 pfennigs before.
    Due to the turmoil of the First World War was deliberately omitted celebrations for the opening, although so that a dragging out over years process was successfully completed. "In general, one heard sayings of praise for the beautiful work that represents the Innsteg," it said on October 3, 1916 in the Danube newspaper, one day after the release of the bridge.
    The regular toll rates were set at the opening: 5 pennies for persons over the age of four, strollers, wheelbarrows, cyclists and small cattle and 10 pennies for donkey and dog carts, larger handcart and livestock. An annual ticket cost 10 marks (for children under 14 years or pupils 5 marks), a half-year ticket 6 marks and a worker's card 50 pennies a month. The fees were payable daily from five to eleven o'clock. Certain groups of persons such as hospital staff were basically exempt.
    Already on June 17, 1917, ie only seven and a half months after its commissioning, the 100,000 pedestrians passed the Innsteg. By 1940, around 700 people used the paid transition daily.
